Lohnt ein Stopp beim Pipe Springs NM ?
Ist es evtl. in der 2. Aprilhälfte vom Wetter her evtl. doch ratsamer, den South Rim anzusteuern ?
1. Nein
2. Nein
Bei deinem 2. Nein wäre ich da etwas vorsichtig:
The North Rim: Mid-May to Mid-October
North Rim Lodging and camping along with all other visitor services and facilities are only open from mid-May to mid-October. Reservations are strongly recommended. Additional facilities are available in the surrounding Kaibab National Forest, the Kaibab Lodge area, and Jacob Lake.
During winter months, the road to the North Rim, Highway 67, is often closed due to snow. After the close of visitor facilities in mid-October, there may be a period when the North Rim is open for day use only. (before the snow comes) During this time there are no services or overnight facilities available inside the park. The road from Jacob Lake to the North Rim (Highway 67) is subject to closure due to snow with little or no notice during this interval and then remains closed until mid-May.
