I'm from Australia trying hard to research a holiday do the Grand Canyon. I have 2 kids (7 & 4) and I know that the most common spot people go to it the South Rim. I'll also be travelling mid November.

I want to avoid bus tours and also know that from Las Vegas, the drive to the North Rim is roughly 4.5 hours and to the South Rim is roughly 4 hours.

Regarding view, accessibility and accommodation what's the difference?

Services on the North Rim will be mostly shut by the time you arrive, they end in October (through pay at pump gas is still available some places). The road itself stays open in November until enough snowfall accumulates to close it, then it remains closed until spring. There will be no rooms available Grand Canyon Lodge at that time.

Lodging is still available on the South Rim and there are more things to access (sightseeing overlooks, trails, etc). Crowds shouldn't be a big issue in mid-November.
