What else is there to do on the north rim vs south rim?

A GrandCanyon.com visitor conversation:

(19:17:17)  Visitor – I am trying to plan my trip for this June. (19:17:28)  Rita – Hi, what can I help you with? (19:17:36)  Visitor – I’m driving from Los Angeles in a  camper. There will be 9 people. Our first time there. (19:17:59)  Rita – OK, are you looking for campgrounds at the South Rim? (19:18:27)  Visitor – That’s my biggest decision, south rim or north rim. (19:18:47)  Rita – Both are beautiful! The South Rim is the most visited. (19:18:56)  Rita – The North is more remote but so beautiful… (19:19:44)  Rita – Here is some information on camping at both rims: https://grandcanyon. com/planning/camping-in-the-grand-canyon/ (19:19:48)  Visitor – I guess the main decision is What else is there to do on the north rim vs south rim. (19:20:28)  Visitor – Do I spend my 3 days at the south rim or go to north and also see Bryce Canyon and Zion? (19:20:52)  Rita – That is a tough decision. (19:21:24)  Visitor – How far is hoover dam from south and north rim? (19:21:42)  Rita – Hoover Dam is about 4. 0 hours from the South Rim. (19:21:56)  Rita – The North Rim is another 4-5 hours from the South Rim. (19:22:08)  Rita – There is an option for you, but 3 days is pretty tight. (19:22:23)  Rita – If you drive to Zion from Las Vegas on I-15 North (19:22:44)  Rita – Then drive from Zion to Bryce, about 1 1/2 – 2 hours (19:23:23)  Rita – Then Bryce back down into Arizona and go to the North Rim via Hwy 89 and 89A thru Kanab, UT, Fredonia, AZ and Jacob Lake. (19:23:42)  Rita – Then you could tour through the South Rim on your way back to I-40 to Las Vegas. (19:24:07)  Visitor – I’m coming from Los Angeles. (19:24:42)  Rita – I understand, but you’re going thru Las Vegas on your way. (19:24:53)  Visitor – Okay (19:25:01)  Rita – Would you like me to put together a quick map for you? (19:25:22)  Visitor – Please (19:26:16)  Visitor – So a day at each park. One day at Bryce Canyon National Park, one at Zion National Park  and one at Grand Canyon National Park. Or can you do Bryce and Zion in one day? (19:27:57)  Rita – You could do Bryce and Zion in one day, they are close enough. (19:29:49)  Visitor – I just have to see if that’s too much driving in three days (19:30:15)  Visitor – Thanks (19:30:30)  Rita – I understand, it can be a lot to pack into a short time. If you’re leaning towards the South Rim, I can provide you with some south rim visitor information to help you make the most of your time there. Just let me know if you’d like recommendations for specific viewpoints or activities!
