The Grand Canyon is by far one of the most vast and magnificent wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon is easily
Arizona’s most distinguishable landmark – and a natural wonder that you simply
have to see to believe. Stretching 277 miles from end to end with its steep and
rocky walls descending more than a mile to the canyon’s floor, where the wild
Colorado River traces a swift course southwest.
You can reach Grand Canyon National Park from main entrances on the South Rim – including the South Rim’s eastern entrance – and the North Rim.
Whether you stop at the canyon for an hour or stay for a week, you’ll have plenty of ways to enjoy some adventure, recreation, or just great views. Here are some just to name a few:
- Grand Canyon Skywalk: Visit the
     glass bridge walkway at the Grand Canyon West Rim. Walk 4000 feet above
     the Grand Canyon floor and look down through
     2.5 inches of crystal-clear glass.Stand on the edge of an engineering
     marvel that extends 70 feet over the Grand Canyon’s rim and weighs 1.2
     million pounds.
- Guided Tours
     around the rim: Explore the Grand Canyon with a guided tour or ride –
     on a bike, on foot or perched atop a friendly mule.
- Air Tours: See the canyon
     from high above with a helicopter or airplane tour. 
- Hiking: From easy rim
     hikes to rigorous multi-day backpacking trips, Grand Canyon hiking has
     something for everyone. 
- Rafting the
     Canyon: Gain a whole new perspective on the Grand Canyon. Choose
     from motorized or oar-powered expeditions ranging from four days to two
     weeks.  
- Jeep and Van
     Tours: Join an off-road trip or travel by van to viewpoints
     along the canyon rim. Tour the park with local guides and learn about
     human history, wildlife, geology and folklore.
- One Day River Raft
     Trips: One-day river raft trips on the Colorado River are
     available below the Glen Canyon Dam.
- Mule Trips - North and
     South Rim: Taking a mule ride at the Grand Canyon is a century old
     tradition. Mule trips into the canyon - as well as rides through the
     park's woodlands to scenic canyon overlooks - are offered on both the
     North and South Rims
- Accommodations: Would you love to stay in Historic lodges, or how about a relaxing hotel, or maybe a rugged campground? The Grand Canyon has a wide range of places to stay – but you have to book early.
