    Absolutely Beautiful

    There is a nice wide paved 12 trail on the South Rim. There are many spots for wonderful pictures! We walked all the way from the visitor center to El Tovar and ate our lunch in their dining hall.

    Truly one of the greatest landscapes I’ve ever beheld. Having driven 4.5 hours to escape LV, we bypassed the “West GC” and carried on for another 3 hours. This really is worth every second more of driving through the desert (we did hire a 5.0L...More

    Breathtaking views yet dangerous!

    The views were spectacular!! It was extremely scary though because 90% of the paths are right next to the ledge of the canyon without rails...(understandably because the canyon is huge!) Having the kids walk so close to the edge was frightening..Watch your kids close! (some...More
