Unbelievable!! Don’t just go in from the visitors center. Take the shuttle to the hotel and cabins. The sites are lovely and less crowded. Come in late November/Early December.
A diamond of a national park. Hike out to Ooh-Ah point and say hi to lots of pack mules hiking up the steep canyon! Bring plenty of water, a compass, maps, and snacks and don't forget a hat.
Here where you can forget about everything in your life and focus on yourself, I loved the place so much, it was soo cold because we picked the wrong time “don’t go in November” but it was awesome.
I spent hours here and still couldn’t believe that it was real! It’s so breathtaking and the view will leave you speechless. Try one of the hikes to get better views and a unique experience!
This is one of the most amazing places you will ever see in your life. The views are astonishing from almost every angle. Makes you realise just how small we are, and put things in perspective. Enjoy.
The Grand Canyon is one of those places that must see before you die. The park seems to be well maintained for the people who visit. Beautiful view. Just loved this place. Will visit again soon.!!
Must go. We decided to splurge on staying on site. Great decision. Just know it's about the experience and being so close. Maswick Lodge was a barely updated room. Totally adequate but not modern
No need to worry about crowds in winter. While the North Rim at the Arizona park closes, the icy South Rim stays open year-round. Take a ride on the Grand Canyon Railway if you prefer to stay warm. Read more
Great national park- basic conveniences readily available. Save yourself the hassle and just use the overflow parking. Browsing crafts & things for sale in the Hopi House is a must!
Such an amazing sight. Beat the hordes by not just sticking by Mather Point. Also, I did the Bright Angeltrail - don't underestimate the climb back out. I passed so many people who were struggling
No Words! We did the Bright angeltrail to the Colorado river and slept at the Bright AngelsCampground. You have to have a permit. But what an place to sleep!
Visit in the winter, the weather is great and the canyon blanketed in snow is incredible. Best lemonade in the world is at the cantina at the bottom, a worthy 5 hour hike, with beauty at every breath
The South Rim is open year round, but some facilities will close during winter. The North Rim is open May 15 through mid-October. The two rims are about a 5-hour drive apart. Read more
One of the 7 wonders of the world. This site will take your breath away. If you want to add a little adventure to your trip and not just look. Hike down a trail and get a different view!
Go back in time and visit the only place in the country where mail is delivered by mule. The village of Supai, located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, is so remote that no roads can access it.
The views are breathtaking.....you can be anywhere in the Grand Canyon national park and have an amazing view though...you just don't realize how massive it is until you see it with your own eyes.
Combine a luxuryhelicopter flight into the depths of the Grand Canyon with a landing on the rim for breathtaking panoramic canyon views of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River! Read more
President Theodore Roosevelt called the Grand Canyon "the one great sight which every American should see." On January 11, 1908, he declared it a national monument.
A spot every kid should see, thanks to abundant wildlife (California condors and unusual tassel-eared squirrels) remnants of thousands of years of human settlement and fascinating geological features. Read more
Grand Canyon National Park was one of the more wished for places throughout 2015’s I Want Somewhere holiday campaign. Where’s your somewhere? Enter to win a bucket list experience. Read more
Appeal to little ones' adventurous spirits with plentiful outdoor activities, from hiking to whitewater rafting to mule rides down into the canyon (book ahead through www.grandcanyonlodges.com).
Go around sunset. It has the most beautiful colors that reflect from the sun. Drop by the town of Bedrock on the way there & go visit Fred and the gang. -Suggested tip from Judy A., Safelite associate
For a short trip, I recommend joining an early morning air tour to the West Rim. There are no barriers, no crazy crowds and the whole experience is very wellorganized by the local people.
When visiting the southern rim, take the lesser driven road to Cameron and be treated to: vistas w/out crowds, Mary Colter Tower, and the incredible view of the canyon sliding into the painted desert.
