Grand Canyon is a marvel and is truly enormous in terms of extravagance.
We visited the South rim, which has 2 parts: One part is offered through guided buses, which operate on routes where you cannot drive your vehicle. The other side, is where you can self-drive and stop at scenic spots to uncover amazing views.
There are several hiking trails in Grand Canyon too, which can be undertaken for to explore this place on the foot. One can also encounter wild coyotes and other animals at times.
The top of the rim offers spectacular views at sunrise and sunset and you can hike down to the bottom where the Colorado river flows. There are helicopter tours available too, that take you from the top right to the bottom, however I would not recommend that simply because I believe in exploring at my own pace and discover different views and scenic spots to experiment with photography.
The West rim has a sky-walk, which is adventurous enough for the daredevils out there 🙂 It is similar to the Skywalk built on Sears Willis tower sky deck in Chicago, which I absolutely adored! Getting on the sky-walk although is a bit of a pricey affair, but it is once in a lifetime thing, if you haven’t experienced the one in Chicago.
If you stay at a decent drive-able distance from Grand Canyon, pull out your trekking gear and plan short trips over the weekend. At least that’s what we do, staying only 3.5 hours drive away!
