Although the North Rim has less visitation, there is no shortage of activities for the more adventurous Grand Canyon explorer. There are also limitless backroads to explore, including the 4X4 road to Point Sublime, one of the most scenic viewpoints in Grand Canyon National Park.
The North Rim is a great place to hike, camp, explore and find solitude. As the only visitor center on the North Rim, this visitor center serves as a one-stop-shop for all visitor North Rim needs. Here visitors can speak with a park ranger, view exhibits about Grand Canyon, get trail information and obtain backcountry permits, and purchase books and gift items from the Grand Canyon Association Park Store.
The nearby Grand Canyon Lodge offers a huge patio with stunning views in addition to cabins for rent, restaurants and gift shops. The visitor center provides visitors with general area information including Grand Canyon National Park's North Rim, Kaibab National Forest trail and road conditions and permits, and tourist destinations in Utah. The visitor center shares a parking lot with the Jacob Lake Lodge, home of the world famous Jacob Lake cookies and milkshakes, as well as a gift shop, restaurant and gas station.

Skip to main navigation. Read the guide. The world record for altitude in a hot air balloon is 68, feet. The average hot air balloon ride is give or take an hour. Although normally, the balloon carries enough fuel to remain aloft for about 1. Factors like outside air temperature, weight being carried in the basket and weather determine the duration of the flight.
In the winter, hot air balloon flights are a little longer, and summer hot air balloon flights are a little shorter. Amazing experience with Aerogelic The online booking process was fast and easy; Aerogelic responded quickly with all the details I needed.
I notified them in advance that I would be doing a marriage proposal during the flight, and they handled it all discreetly and professionally. Our pilot Duane was knowledgeable, funny, and very informative before, during, and after our flight This was something we have had on our bucket list for a long time. We came all the way out from CT to check this out. Thanks guys! Rachel J. My husband and I had a great experience with apex! John made us feel so taken care of.
Even though we were supposed to call the night before at 8 — 9 o confirm, he called us at 8 : 06 to do so. After a long day of traveling it was so nice not to worry about it. The next morning we overslept, but John let us reschedule for the next day no problem. Talk about great customer service. The flight itself was a great small size, the perfect amount of time at 60 — 75 minutes, and had a very passionate and dedicated crew. We had such a great experience and are so glad we chose apex!
I wish there was a higher rating system! I would give Apex 10 stars. My husband and I went on a ride this morning near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. We had a fantastic time. Chad was personable, knowledgeable and entertaining. Piloting was the best. The views were breathtaking. Thank you for giving us a very memorable 10 year anniversary gift!
I realize the listing is for Arizona and we took our ride in PA , but it is the same company and pilot, and wanted to give a shout out to the great service. My sister and I enjoyed a beautiful sunrise hot air balloon ride with Apex.
Jon was extremely knowledgeable about ballooning and it was obvious that he had a real passion for it. The ride was double the expected air time 1. Overall, this was a great trip and I highly recommend Apex! Nathalie P. By far the best experience in Phoenix!
Jon, our balloon pilot, was absolutely amazing! From the moment we lifted off to the moment we touched ground, we were in awe and felt very comfortable.
We built great memories in that air balloon ride that we will never forget. The mimosas after landing added the perfect ending to our beautiful morning ride.
I will definitely recommend Apex Balloons to all my friends and family! We read up a lot before booking this flight: so happy we went with Apex! Crew was professional all the way, John, our pilot, has been flying since he was a teenager and his passion for the craft is evident. This was a sunrise flight, will be booking a sunset flight on our next vacation! Something I will be looking forward to! Excellent company!
