What can you say about something like this that hasn’t already been said thousands of times before? Just two tips. Make good use of the shuttle bus system, it is superb. And if you enter the park through the South entrance, take the opportunity to drive the 25 miles or so along the Canyon Rim and exit East. The buses... More

This is the most stunningly beautiful canyon in the world! It will take your breath away by the grandness, and the magnitude of the place. There are no words to describe it. I've been there many times, and I never get enough of it - I can go back forever and still be blown away by the power and beauty... More

Stay overnight at the South Rim if you can. The sunsets are amazing and you won't see it if you take the day train out of Williams.

Took a helicopter ride through Papillion Tours at the Grand Canyon airport. Purchased the Imperial tour, which includes both sides of the canyon up to the north rim and back. There are a lot of beautiful views of God's creation. What an amazing trip it was. Definitely worth the money! Took the 8:00 AM flight - best time to go!

Always awe inspiring. Teenage son could not believe how big the canyon is. Put it on your bucket list near the top!

And to think I thought we might skip this. What a shame that would have been!!! You just have to go see it to believe it! Not crowded at all in May. Buses full of people from all over the world visiting. It made me proud of our beautiful America!

What can I say...... Everyone needs to visit the Grand Canyon. If you have a National Park annual pass, don't forget to bring it. I forgot mine from Hawaii and they would have honored it.... :( Try to get there early if possible to avoid parking hassles. Unfortunately, I arrived around 1:00 p.m. and it was slamming. If the front... More

If you want to see God's handiwork first-hand, put the Grand Canyon at the top of your Bucket List! We visited the first weekend in May and commented that we were glad to be there at that time of year... our guess is that it could be a crowded nightmare in mid-summer.

I booked this all day tour thru Papillion.com. We were staying at the Holiday InnSuites 1/2 mile away - easy driving distance from the GC airport. The flight was great - the pilots said the best time to fly over the GC is early am (the tour leaves at 6:30 am). The bagged breakfast was very filling. The shuttle ride... More
