Heather and I took a trip back when we were childless to the South Rim in the mid 1990&#8217;s and I remember it being a zoo. No parking and lots of pushing and shoving and rude behavior by our fellow tourists. It wasn&#8217;t much of wilderness experience. If we go again I&#8217;ll head back to the north rim and maybe see my favorite Park Ranger, <a href=\"http:\/\/geogypsytraveler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gaeyln.
