After years of wanting to, I finally managed to pay a visit to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Unlike the heavily visited south rim, the north rim has little in the way of accommodations and is rather harder to get to, so it's much less busy with people. It is also at a far higher elevation with the sort of tall-pine-and-aspen forest that one does not expect so far south. Definitely worth it.

@corbet Friends and I hiked from the north rim to the south once. The trail down the northern side to the river is gentle (comparatively) and scenic. Recommended.
