Grand Canyon Village Grand Canyon Village free
U.S. News Insider Tip: Since parking is hard to find beyond the visitor center's main parking lot, opt for one of the park's free shuttles and pack a bag with a water bottle, a hat, sunscreen and a snack. – Catherine Parker
Grand Canyon Village is located close to the national park's most popular south entrance, on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.

South Rim South Rim free
U.S. News Insider Tip: Get an early start when visiting the South Rim (before 9 a.m.); traffic is common at the South Rim entrance gates. Save time by taking the seasonal, free shuttle from Tusayan (the purple route) and purchasing your entrance ticket in advance. – Catherine Parker
According to the National Park Service, about 90% of Grand Canyon travelers visit the South Rim compared to the seasonal North Rim . South Rim visitors will find the majority of the Grand Canyon's most well-known outdoor activities, like hiking the Canyon Rim Trail and the famous mule rides. Compared to the North Rim, the South Rim offers more areas to explore, especially for visitors staying for more than one day. One must- see sight is Hermit Road, which is not accessible to private cars for much of the year and is popular with cyclists, runners and hikers thanks to its breathtaking viewpoints. Desert View , near the east entrance, is another area to visit anchored by the Desert View Watchtower , a historic building.

Mather Point Mather Point free
Located steps from the main visitor center, Mather Point is the first view many visitors see of the Grand Canyon. Travelers can take an easy, five-minute walk on its sidewalk from the Grand Canyon Visitor Center to the lookout. Its fenced overlook provides exceptional vistas of the rugged cliffs and trails below. If weather conditions are right, visibility exceeds 30 miles to the east and 60 miles to the west. Mather Point is also a popular spot to watch the sun rise and set over the canyon and was named after the first director of the National Park Service, Stephen Tyng Mather.
Recent travelers had nothing but good things to say about Mather Point, praising its easy accessibility and stunning views. They also noted that its location is convenient to restrooms and a cafe in the visitor center. With its close proximity to the visitor center, avoiding other tourists is admittedly difficult. Some reviewers recommended heading to other overlooks after Mather if you're hoping for thinner crowds.

Rim Trail Rim Trail free
Covering about 13 miles, the Rim Trail connects the South Kaibab Trailhead to Hermits Rest, passing Grand Canyon Village along the way. The Rim Trail is one of the most popular and easy trails in the national park because it offers the best way to see the South Rim's most acclaimed attractions and viewpoints. The mostly paved walking path (which is accessible in many sections) traces the canyon's edge, stopping off at favorite lookouts like Maricopa Point and Hopi Point. Another highlight along the Rim Trail is the section between Yavapai Museum of Geology and Verkamp's Visitor Center, which features the interpretative Trail of Time. This approximately 3-mile-long paved route incorporates a collection of rocks and exhibits that explain how Grand Canyon was formed.
Recent travelers enjoyed the variety offered along the Rim Trail, from crowded tourist points to more desolate stretches that allow for an escape to nature. Many said that the crowds are thick on the east side, near the gift shops, restaurants and lodging, though they thin out as you walk away from the village. Others were impressed by the accessibility of the trail, saying that much of it is open to wheelchairs and strollers.

Bright Angel Trail Bright Angel Trail free
U.S. News Insider Tip: The South Rim mule rides into the canyon are typically awarded by lottery. The North Rim mule trips go into the canyon, though they don't reach Phantom Ranch. – Catherine Parker
One of the trails that leads to the Colorado River, this steep path starts just west of the Bright Angel Lodge in Grand Canyon Village 's Historic District (the park's blue shuttle route will drop you at the trailhead). Because the trail provides spectacular views of the inner canyon, it's considered one of the park's most popular hikes.

Desert View Drive Desert View Drive free
This is the only scenic drive open to private cars on the national park's South Rim , and it offers staggering views of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River.
From Grand Canyon Village , visitors can head east along Desert View Drive for 23 miles to find six developed canyon viewpoints, four picnic areas and five pullouts. Perched along the canyon's rim, the centerpiece of Desert View is the Desert View Watchtower , architect Mary Colter's 1932 building that incorporated design elements of the Ancestral Puebloan people of the Colorado Plateau. Inside, the Kiva Room offers seasonal cultural demonstrations where visitors can learn about the arts and crafts of Native American groups of the area.

South Kaibab Trail South Kaibab Trail
Just as the North Kaibab Trail begins at the North Rim, the South Kaibab Trail begins at the South Rim and ventures into the Grand Canyon down to the Colorado River.
The 6.3-mile South Kaibab Trail offers 360-degree views of the Grand Canyon thanks to its open ridgelines. While the exposed trail promises incredible views, it also offers no protection from the sun or passing storms. Hikers will find the trailhead near Yaki Point, accessible via the free park shuttles. Day-trippers can get a taste of the trail and venture to Ooh-Ahh Point (a 1.8-mile round trip hike) or Cedar Ridge (a 3-mile round-trip journey). Beyond Cedar Ridge, the National Park Service cautions against day hikes due to lack of water and strenuous trail conditions. The NPS recommends hiking back up the canyon via the Bright Angel Trail instead of ascending the South Kaibab Trail.

Desert View Watchtower Desert View Watchtower
Located on the South Rim , the Desert View Watchtower is located about 23 miles east of Grand Canyon Village via Desert View Drive (close to the park's east entrance). Designed in 1932 by renowned Southwest architect Mary Colter, the Desert View Watchtower was built with native stones on the edge of the canyon. To blend in with the canyon and mimic the look of original Ancestral Puebloan buildings of the Colorado Plateau, Colter visited sites across the Southwest. Inside of the tower, travelers will find the Kiva Room, which features a fireplace, a rest area, a retail shop and views of the canyon. During the peak season, local artisans host demonstrations in the Kiva Room and visitors can observe craftspeople work on jewelry, pottery, rug making and more several days a week.
Recent travelers reported they enjoyed the east side of the Grand Canyon because of its reduced crowds. They also admired the intricate architecture of the tower itself, noting that the structure was well-maintained, interesting and beautiful.

North Rim North Rim free
U.S. News Insider Tip: The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is easier to reach from Utah and offers fewer crowds than the South Rim . Sometimes, lodging and camping reservations for the busy summer season are easier to reserve as well. – Catherine Parker
After experiencing the South Rim's desert-like landscape, first-time visitors to the North Rim marvel at its greener landscape and cooler temperatures. Even though it welcomes about one-tenth of the visitors of the South Rim, the North Rim offers many of the same amenities, including lodging, dining, mule rides and tours.
![grand canyon trips](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/e34ca0f/2147483647/resize/255x255^>/crop/255x255/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2FMatteo_ColomboAerial-view-nature.jpg)
North Kaibab Trail North Kaibab Trail free
For travelers on the North Rim , the North Kaibab Trail is the area's only maintained canyon hike. The 14-mile (one way) trail leads all the way to the Colorado River. The trail can be grueling since its elevation is 1,000 feet higher than the hikes along the South Rim . In the summer, the hot Arizona sun is unforgiving to hikers (there is little shade along the way, making the journey even more difficult). In fact, park rangers recommend starting the hike before dawn or spending the night at the campground halfway to the Colorado River. For travelers who want a shorter hike along North Kaibab, the hike to the Supai Tunnel starts at the North Kaibab's trailhead and is about 4 miles round trip. Water and rest spots are available at several points along the North Kaibab Trail.
If this journey sounds too arduous, travelers can take a guided, three-hour mule-driven tour on this trail from May to October (Note: This tour does not go to the bottom of the canyon).

Horseshoe Bend Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend isn't located within Grand Canyon National Park, but it's a popular attraction that park visitors often make an effort to see thanks to its awe-inspiring, photo-worthy views.
As one of the most recognizable and visited places in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the Instagram-worthy attraction is located northeast of Grand Canyon National Park's south entrance. The Colorado River created the roughly 1,000-foot deep, 270-degree horseshoe-shaped bend that visitors hike a 1.5-mile hard-packed, accessible trail to see.

Colorado River Rafting Colorado River Rafting
After you've admired the Grand Canyon from the hiking trails (or even from the air on a helicopter tour ), enjoy a new vantage point on a Colorado River rafting tour.
Options range from the family-friendly half-day float through Horseshoe Bend on a motorized raft with Wilderness River Adventures to the more daring one- and two-day whitewater rafting trips with Grand Canyon West 's Hualapai River Runners .

Antelope Canyon Antelope Canyon
Like its neighbor, Horseshoe Bend , Antelope Canyon makes for an excellent day trip for those staying in northern Arizona. Accessible by guided tour only, Antelope Canyon is a unique geological structure formed by water erosion over millions of years. The slot canyon reveals deep, winding, bright orange and red tunnels that visitors can explore on foot. The canyon is especially magical between late March and early October, when sun rays are at the perfect angle to shine in from above.
Guided tours of Antelope Canyon are available through a variety of providers, and most offer an upper canyon and lower canyon tour. The upper canyon is A-shaped, where the lower canyon is V-shaped and features five flights of stairs.

Navajo Bridge Navajo Bridge free
Within Grand Canyon National Park, there is only one way to drive over the Colorado River and that's via the Navajo Bridge on the northeast end of the park.
Starting in the 1870s, more people had moved into the area and needed to cross the giant chasm. At the time, the only way to cross the Grand Canyon was by ferry at Glen Canyon, named Lees Ferry. When the use of automobiles became more popular starting in the 1920s, officials in Arizona and Utah recognized the need for a bridge that allowed vehicles to safely travel over the canyon.

Hopi House Hopi House free
Mary Colter designed the Hopi House in 1905 in the style of a traditional Hopi dwelling. True to its original purpose, the Hopi House sells souvenirs made by Native American artists and craftspeople. The exterior features native stone along with traditional ladders leading to its different levels. Inside, visitors will find adobe walls, wooden beams and saplings on the ceiling.
Recent visitors praised the selection of souvenirs at the Hopi House, with the finest products made by Native American artists and craftspeople. Reviewers appreciated the transparent product labeling, which allows shoppers to see which items are mass produced and which are one of a kind. Others walked through the Hopi House to admire Colter's architecture and said it's a great place to escape an afternoon monsoon – a common summertime occurrence.

Grand Canyon Railway Grand Canyon Railway
Starting in the late 1800s, this historic railroad was originally used to transport ore from the Anita mines, which sit just north of Williams, Arizona. In 1901, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway reached the log cabin depot at the South Rim , making the national park accessible to the public. With the rise in automobile use, the trains lost business, and the last passenger train pulled into the Grand Canyon Depot in 1968. After an extensive restoration, the Grand Canyon Railway was reopened to tourists in 1989.
Today, this historic train carries tourists between Williams and the South Rim's Grand Canyon Depot. Along the approximately two-hour ride, passengers will see a variety of landscapes from the Ponderosa and Pinon pine forests to expansive prairies. In addition to providing a pleasurable journey, the train keeps 50,000 vehicles out of the park each year.

Grand Canyon Skywalk Grand Canyon Skywalk
One of the more controversial additions to the Grand Canyon's surroundings, the Grand Canyon Skywalk is a large, semicircular bridge with a transparent glass floor, allowing tourists to walk out 70 feet from the canyon rim and view the bottom from 4,000 feet above. The Skywalk lies outside of the park on the grounds of the Hualapai Indian Reservation in a development known as Grand Canyon West . Purists initially criticized the construction of the Skywalk, claiming it ruined the area's natural aesthetic. Still, the attraction has drawn millions of visitors since opening in 2007.
The skywalk is a considerable drive from both the South Rim and the North Rim (count on about four hours in the car from Grand Canyon Village ). As such, Recent travelers warned a stop at the skywalk is an all-day endeavor. Several people commented on the lack of value, especially in comparison to the South Rim. Las Vegas visitors without plans to make it to the South Rim seemed to enjoy their experience more than visitors who had seen the canyon in the national park.

Havasu Falls Havasu Falls
Lauded by travelers as one of the most beautiful sights in the area, Havasu Falls is a desert oasis, complete with blue-green water and gushing falls . The ethereal pools formed by Havasu Creek add an almost surreal quality to the red canyon backdrop. Though it's often associated with the Grand Canyon, this site is not located within the national park and is located on the Havasupai Indian Reservation.
Accessing Havasu Falls requires perseverance since visitors must first secure a three-night overnight reservation to enter the area prior to their visit. Reservations include the required access permit and a camping fee; $455 per person for the trip. No day trips are allowed, and campers need to be prepared with supplies to eat and sleep in a wilderness campground. There is a fresh water source and composting toilets at the campground.

Grand Canyon West Rim Grand Canyon West Rim
Located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, Grand Canyon West is not part of Grand Canyon National Park. It's situated a little more than 230 miles west of Grand Canyon Village and about 120 miles east of Las Vegas , making it a popular day trip for Vegas visitors who want a taste of the Grand Canyon, but don't want to drive all the way to the park's popular south entrance.
Owned and operated by the Hualapai Indian Reservation, Grand Canyon West offers an array of adventure activities and attractions, including the Grand Canyon Skywalk , whitewater rafting on the Colorado River, and canyon zip line rides. What's more, Grand Canyon West also offers lodging, dining and shopping.

Grand Canyon IMAX Theater Grand Canyon IMAX Theater
U.S. News Insider Tip: The Grand Canyon IMAX Theater is located in the Grand Canyon Visitor Center in the town of Tusayan, just south of the park's entrance and not at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center on the rim of the canyon. – Catherine Parker
For visitors who want to feel like they are rafting the Colorado River or hang gliding above it, this IMAX film transports viewers to the edge of the canyon and over it. The Grand Canyon IMAX Theater screens multiple daily showings of "Grand Canyon: Rivers of Time," an action-packed, 37-minute film that plays on a six-story screen. In addition to heart-pumping aerial footage, viewers will enjoy an overview of the Grand Canyon's history and a CGI animation of the canyon's geological formation. Worth noting, this is not shown at the visitor centers on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon; this Grand Canyon Visitor Center is located just south of the entrance gate in Tusayan.

What people love about Grand Canyon Tours
Fabulous! I just returned from Bindlestiff's Grand Canyon & more 3 day tour. It was Fabulous! It provided a well-planned itinerary of fascinating places (Zion National Park, Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon (optional & a must!), Monument Valley & the Grand Canyon. We were a perfect size group of twelve international travelers in a comfy van plus our delightful Tour Guide, Jade. We had enough time to immerse ourselves in each location and enjoy each experience. When on the road, Jade played upbeat themed music, weaved interested facts into a story and allowed quiet snooze time; plus the rest stops were well-spaced. On the first day we actually were in 3 states!!! Jade's yummy restaurant selections served the needs of each of the travelers' dietary requirements and the overnight accommodations were clean, comfortable & provided a nourishing breakfast. A special shout-out to Jade for her ability to ""herd cats"" while being attentive to each traveler's personal needs. She engaged with each of us in conversation and was delightful with a good sense of humor. A warm Thank You to Jade and Bindlestiff Tours!!!
Tour guide a great humanist able to reach out to all, domestic and foreign, to first form individual friendships that then led collectively to group bonding to experience nature's wonders. All members of our group became friends sharing the influence of our guide who understands human nature the way God would have it.

"Overall, the tour was very fun and we'll put together. The tour guides were all friendly, and seemed to work well as a team. Accomodations were not bad, but there were better options directly adjacent. Food options were pretty much all fast food, which makes sense for the tour concept. However, dinner options could have been a bit better. We really would have appreciated a little more hiking and exploring time, and a couple of the guides did the best to accommodate that. However, 20 minute stops are just not enough time to get "out and experience" the areas.

Grand Canyon
Vast, magnificent and inarguably beautiful, the Grand Canyon is easily Arizona's most distinguishable landmark — a natural wonder you must see to believe. Stretching 277 miles from end to end, the Grand Canyon's rocky walls descend more than a mile to the canyon’s floor, where the wild Colorado River continues to carve away at the rugged landscape. Everyone should see the Grand Canyon at least once in their lifetime, and area businesses and outfitters make experiencing the canyon accessible to everyone.
![grand canyon trips Grand Canyon](https://www.visitarizona.com/imager/s3_us-west-1_amazonaws_com/aot-2020/images/omer-nezih-gerek-ZZnH4GOzDgc-unsplash_bd09986aed1ba9b4b01bef1efd4b55c0.jpg)
From the Rims
If you are short on time or prefer to take in fantastic panoramas from paved viewing points, simply visiting the Grand Canyon creates memories that stick with visitors forever. Grand Canyon National Park’s South Rim is the most popular visitor area, with plenty of places to eat, shop and stay the night in area hotels or campsites. The Grand Canyon Railway offers a fun family alternate for a short visit to the canyon. It operates turn-around trips from Williams to the South Rim year-round, with a three-hour window to see the canyon. Its annual Polar Express excursions are the stuff holiday traditions are made of. While less developed with fewer services and closed during the colder months, the North Rim is open from May to October and offers a unique and uncrowded way to explore the Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon West is also a favorite for short visits. Its Skywalk takes Grand Canyon visitors out over the rim on a glass bridge that hovers 4,000 feet above the canyon floor. Choose your vantage point and get ready to take pictures you will never delete.
From the Canyon Floor
If your group leans more toward the adventurous side, find many ways to fully immerse yourself in this natural wonder of the world. Trailheads at any of the entry points lead to steep switchbacks that take visitors into the canyon. Commit to a few hours to hike to plateaus fully encircled by the canyon walls. To hike to the Colorado River on the canyon floor, plan to camp overnight before hiking back up from the river to the rim. Many experienced hikers join seasoned outfitters on grueling rim-to-rim hikes or multi-day backpacking adventures to fully immerse themselves in the splendor of the canyon. Outfitters also offer Grand Canyon white-water river rafting adventures on the Colorado River, which can last from half a day to two weeks. Helicopter tours, mule rides and mountain bike rim trails offer other memorable ways to see the canyon in person. Survey the adventure level of your travel companions, and then use the following resources to plan the adventure of a lifetime in the Grand Canyon.
3 Perfect Days in the Grand Canyon
This three-day itinerary in Grand Canyon National Park’s South Rim covers all the must-see stops and gives you the scoop on where to photograph the sunset.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is the southern edge of the Grand Canyon, open year round as opposed to the seasonal North Rim, with the most iconic views including the historic Grand Canyon Village.
The west rim is home to the Skywalk and the Hualapai Tribe. This area is not the Grand Canyon National Park. It offers amazing day tours convenient from Las Vegas.
Tusayan is a small town located at the South Rim entrance to the national park…home to the Squire Resort at The Grand Canyon, BW Signature Collection
Typically we are part of a larger southwestern itinerary. Phoenix and Las Vegas are the major airports leading to the canyon. The drive from either location is incredibly scenic …with Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon leading up from Phoenix and the Hoover Dam and Route 66 along the way from Vegas.
Driving distances are great in the Southwest. While the next closest cities to the canyon, Williams and Flagstaff, are only some 70 miles away, it can often take an additional hour or more to get through the park entrance. You’ll want to make the most of both sunrise and sunset by staying close.
At 7000 ft (2100 m) we do get winter. Additionally, the high desert always has at least a 30F degree (15C) difference between night and day. Always pack layers, especially a windbreaker. Sunset is amazing and with sunny days come starry nights! Be prepared!
The canyon is entirely within Arizona. However, Arizona does not practice Daylight Saving…so although we are listed as MST during the summer months we are at PST. All tribal nations within the state do practice Daylight Saving…so be sure to check the time when traveling throughout the region in the summer months.

Grand Canyon Tours & Things to Do
How much time do you have to spend visiting the grand canyon.
If you only have a few hours to see the Grand Canyon, consider booking an air or helicopter tour. Quick airplane tours are widely available Grand Canyon (Tusayan) Airport. Because airplane tours can accommodate 6-8 passengers at a time, they tend to be relatively affordable and are a prime way to see the Grand Canyon in a short amount of time. These short, non-landing air tours provide aerial views only, flying over the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert and the Kaibab Plateau on a circuit from the South to the North Rim and back.
Similarly, helicopter tours are an excellent choice for those short on time. These tours range in duration and price, but there is something for almost every pocketbook and schedule. If you only have a few hours, you will want to choose a helicopter tour that takes off from the South Rim airport near Tusayan, and opt for a 25-to 45-minute tour. Either way, you'll marvel at the pilot's expert narration, personalized attention, and stunning aerial views, a perspective you can only get from a helicopter or airplane.
Half-day tours to the Grand Canyon are widely available from Las Vegas to the West Rim. With 5–6 hours to spend, you can travel by airplane or helicopter, landing at the West Rim and either step off the aircraft to ride the hop-on-hop-off shuttle around Grand Canyon West, including the Grand Canyon Skywalk and Guano Point, or take a helicopter below the Rim landing on the Canyon floor for a champagne picnic.
With a full day to spend visiting the Grand Canyon, the array of options opens up as wide as the Canyon itself. Choose from ground tours from Las Vegas, Flagstaff or Sedona or air/ground combination tours from Las Vegas or Phoenix. Typically, full day tours pickup from your departure city hotel in a comfortable van, bus or coach and offer visitors anywhere from 11 to 16 hours to travel in stress-free comfort, stopping at all the best viewpoints and attractions along the way.
Combination tours, like airplane and helicopter tours that fly out from Las Vegas, land at either the West Rim or the South Rim. At Grand Canyon West, you can spend the rest of the full day utilizing the hop-on-hop-off shuttle to tour Eagle Point, the Grand Canyon Skywalk, Guano Point and Grand Canyon West Ranch. With extra time to spare, fill your itinerary with horseback riding along the rim, a helicopter landing on the floor of the Canyon, or a boat ride on the Colorado River. Full-day tours like this generally last 11–13 hours.
If your combo tour is headed for the South Rim, you'll land in Tusayan at the Grand Canyon Airport, then be whisked away in a touring van to visit the National Park. With several hours dedicated to allowing leisurely visits to all the viewpoints around Grand Canyon Village, you'll get to see "the real Grand Canyon" without feeling rushed or shortchanged.
One of the most popular full day tours is the Grand Canyon Railway. Depart the train depot in Williams in the morning, and enjoy an outstanding ride right to the South Rim. Take several hours to explore Grand Canyon Village and its many scenic overlooks, visitor centers, gift shops, and museums before climbing aboard the train for a late-afternoon return trip to Williams.
If heart-pounding whitewater action is your thing, but you don't have a week to spend going down the Colorado River, check out 1-day river rafting from Peach Springs to Grand Canyon West. The Hualapai River Runners are the exclusive provider of 1-day white river rafting at the Grand Canyon, and you can book these tours through a tour broker like Rivers and Oceans, or directly with the Hualapai tribe. Expect to spend the night before at the Hualapai Lodge in Peach Springs, and be on the river from dawn 'til dusk. A shuttle will take you back to Peach Springs at the close of the day.
Finally, if you're starting from Phoenix, you'll need a full day to take a ground tour to the South Rim. Choose a tour that picks up at your Phoenix area hotel in the early morning, and enjoy a relaxing day of expert narration, scenic views and fully guided fun. Plan on about 16 hours start to finish, with about 9 hours of driving round trip.
Multi-day ground tours to the Grand Canyon are the ideal solution for visitors who do not want to drive themselves but want to see as much of the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Las Vegas and/or Phoenix as possible. These tours also have the added bonus of building in Grand Canyon-area lodging to your trip itinerary, which makes the planning process that much easier. Check out multi-day trips that start in Las Vegas, touring the Grand Canyon and Sedona and ending in Phoenix, or vice versa. There are also longer tours that actually hit 8 National Parks and monuments of the Grand Circle, spanning thousands of miles of Arizona and Utah over a several-night excursion.
Another common type of multi-night Grand Canyon adventure is the Colorado River whitewater rafting trip. Choose from the Upper Canyon or Lower Canyon, spending 3–7 days on the river, or really go for the gusto and spend a couple of weeks rafting the entire length of the Canyon. These trips are typically once-in-a-lifetime adventures, need to be booked about a year in advance and require a significant budget, but the payoff is a memorable experience of epic proportions.
Finally, outdoor enthusiasts may want to hook up with a professional backpacking guide to lead them on a multi-night hiking trip down into the Grand Canyon. The benefit of doing a backpacking trip with a pro is that all of the equipment, meal planning and logistics are taken care of for you. If you're doing a rim-to-rim trip, the guides will arrange one-way transportation back to your starting point, and professionals also manage the entire backcountry permit process.

'Grand' doesn’t cut it. Mind-blowing? That’s more like it.
At 18 miles wide, 0.9 miles deep, and 277 miles long, nothing can ever prepare you for the vastness of the Grand Canyon. The views from the lookouts along the rim will take your breath away, but we like to go a little deeper — like hiking into the canyon depths and seeing the burnt-orange cliffs soar above you, falling asleep under spectacular night skies , and learning about the park's Indigenous history to connect with this ancient landscape. Make sure your camera's fully charged... you won't be able to put it down.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards
From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).
However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.
Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.
What is the Grand Canyon?
The Grand Canyon is one of the seven wonders of the world. It’s an 18-mile wide, 0.9 miles deep, and 277 miles long gorge carved by the Colorado River over 5-6 million years. Scientists estimate that humans have lived there since the last Ice Age.
How do I get to the Grand Canyon?
The closest airports to the Grand Canyon are Las Vegas and Phoenix, but you can also fly into Flagstaff (a one-hour drive from the South Rim) or Salt Lake City (about seven hours away by car). Public transport is limited, so the best option is to drive or join us on a tour.
Getting around the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon has a free shuttle bus around the South Rim. The shuttles take you to the best viewpoints which are inaccessible to private vehicles.
There is also a Trans-Canyon-Shuttle service between the North and South Rims between May and October.
Guided bus tours also operate in the park, as well as taxi services between the South Kaibab Trailhead, Grand Canyon Village and Tusayan/Airport.
When is the best time to visit the Grand Canyon?
The best time to visit the Grand Canyon in terms of weather and avoiding huge crowds is between March and May, and September through November.
During the peak season (June-August), thousands of tourists flock to the park for the summer vacation. That being said, all hiking trails and park facilities are open, so it's the best time to experience all the park has to offer.
Temperatures drop in the winter and it snows in some areas, but it’s a great time to visit as there’s hardly anyone around and you’ll have the trails and views mostly to yourself.
What should I wear to the Grand Canyon?
No matter what season you visit the Grand Canyon, bring a sturdy pair of hiking boots or trainers with good grip, light and comfortable layers, a waterproof jacket, warm layers, a fleece, a sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
Also, make sure you bring a reusable water bottle and plenty of snacks to refuel throughout the day.
What animals live in the Grand Canyon National Park?
Some animals you might encounter include desert bighorn sheep, deer, coyotes, mountain lions, mules, gray foxes and bears. There is also a diverse range of reptiles, amphibians and birds.
Can I use my mobile/cell phone in the Grand Canyon?
Your cell phone will probably have coverage near the park’s main tourist hubs, but there will be little or no coverage once you start hiking past the canyon rim.
Are Intrepid trips accessible for travellers with disabilities?
We are committed to making travel widely accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations.
We are always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

7 Scenic Canyon Road Trips To Add To Your Arizona Bucket List
- There are many scenic road trips in Arizona to canyons, like Marble and Sycamore, as well as the Grand Canyon.
- Flagstaff to Marble Canyon boasts ancestral sites, natural springs, and limestone gorge views.
- Tucson to Sabino Canyon leads to lush desert landscapes, ideal for hiking and tram tours.
The United States, with its wide array of landscapes and historical monuments, provides an ideal backdrop for land travel in any direction, whether aboard a tiny vehicle or a luxurious RV. There are exciting Texas day trips only three hours from Dallas , for instance; iconic landmarks along the various sections of Route 66 ; or simply charming small towns in the Hudson Valley to explore .
However, the Grand Canyon State is particularly a traveler's favorite; in fact, 40.19 million people visited Arizona in 2022 , perhaps drawn by some of the most iconic landmarks in the USA, including the Grand Canyon, commonly said to be the top tourist attraction in the United States .
While this natural wonder gets most of the attention, there are actually a number of other canyons in Arizona in addition to the Grand Canyon , and what better way to explore them (as well as many of the state's other noteworthy landscapes, towns, and cities) on a road trip?
There's already a myriad of Arizona road trips to the Grand Canyon , but this list will expand on those, including scenic drives to its South Rim as well as other canyons in the state. The following Arizona canyon road trips also take adventurers through picturesque and interesting stops on their way to majestic canyons like Marble, Sabino, and the Grand Canyon's South Rim.
What To Know Before Visiting The Three Indian Canyons Of Palm Springs
Flagstaff to marble canyon, 130 miles via wupatki national monument and antelope pass.
The spring weather in Flagstaff is ideal for outdoor activities , although it's great to visit year-round, given its proximity to many natural wonders, such as the Wupatki National Monument , which is only 36 minutes away and features many ancestral Puebloan sites, three natural springs, ripple-marked sandstone, several blow holes, and evergreen trees like the One-seed Juniper and Mormon Tea.
The next photo stop after heading northwest is Antelope Pass Vista , a viewpoint of canyons and red rock formations at 6151 feet, via the hills and narrow curves of State Route 89A, just outside Bitter Springs.
As for the ultimate destination, Marble Canyon , it sits at 3,573 feet and is partially located within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the Grand Canyon National Park. This impressive, free-access gorge features limestone rocks and cliff walls perched above the Colorado River, and it attracts whitewater rafters, trout-fishing lovers, picnickers, and photographers alike, especially in the early morning and at sunset.
- Total Drive Time: 2 hours 8 minutes
- Great Attractions and Stops: Wupatki National Monument (sunrise to sunset; from $15 ); Glen Canyon National Recreation Area ($15/person); Marble Canyon Lodge (rooms from $170)
- Easy Trail: Old Navajo Bridge (0.5 mile; 10 minutes)
Tucson To Sabino Canyon
