The North Rim of the Grand Canyon sits about 1,000 feet higher than the South Rim and receives far fewer visitors, a difference this 1955 visitors' guide to the area helps explain. Printed in the years when American families were driving west in growing numbers, the guide reflects how the National Park Service presented the canyon to the public after World War II. Its cover-style design and practical tone point to a time when road trips and trailside lodges were turning a remote rim into a destination. The North Rim's forested plateau, reached by a long and seasonal road, makes this piece a useful record of how the park was marketed to travelers in the mid-century.
