Toroweap Area Grand Canyon, North Rim The drive to Toroweap should only be made in a 4x4 high clearance vehicle. The first 55 miles (yes 55!) is on a washboard dirt road. But the last few miles are extremely rough, much of it through soft, deep sand, and sharp as glass lava rock. There is NO phone service, and likely no other human being around for miles. The view was stunning! Long, straight views of the canyon and Colorado River. Well worth the ride. We drove in my Jeep Wrangler, but they do have tour guides who can take you.
