It always amazes me that every show on America's National Parks puts the Grand Canyon as the #1 attraction - and I could not disagree more. Yes, it is beautiful. Yes, there are color variations at different times. Yes, it is worth a visit - but #1? Take a drive a little to the north and visit Utah's National Parks... more

We got so lucky with the weather, which was a 20 degrees above normal high for November. We parked in lot E and took the Hermit Rest shuttle Route. We stopped at five of the stops. They ALL looked the same to me. I found this a little disappointing. Of couse there is the history, the geology and the sheer... more

I went into our trip to the Grand Canyon thinking it was a giant hole in the ground. Well, it was. It's one of those things you can check off your "Bucket List" of things to see/do before you leave this earth. After about 3 hours of viewing it from the south rim from the Visitor's Center to almost as... more

We were picked up from the front door of our hotel at 0700 ( Venetian) - there were folks on the bus so obviously some... more

My husband and I visited the Grand Canyon last year. It is a spectacular sight to behold. We chose to stay at one of the locations on site. It was so convenient with no hastle to get around. There were tour buses to take us to the different sites. We also walked around parts of the rim. We also drove... more

This is the one of the greatest place in the world. It is the place must be visited, especially Sunrise and Sunset. South Rim is the good place to visit with family and really good to your children. There are many Junior Ranger Programs that children can learn about the Earth. more

We made our own way here from vegas. we timed to arrive about 4'o clock after all the tour buses had left and we booked out at 10'oclock before they arrived the following day. We stayed at the bright angel lodge right on the rim. The sunset and sunris from this location were brilliant and as all the day trippers... more
