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.
