Күн бұрын

Everything you need to know before you go to the Grand Canyon National Park. The Grand Canyon is the 2nd most visited National Park with nearly 5 million visitors per year. It's a sprawling 1,218-square-mile natural wonder in Arizona, carved by the mighty Colorado River over millions of years. The canyon itself is a mile deep and up to 18 miles wide, offering breathtaking vistas and a glimpse into millions of years of geological history. Most people think of the Grand Canyon as a desert, but it’s actually a forest! It’s set at an elevation of 7,000 feet and it’s home to tons of greenery and wildlife too. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a casual sightseeing enthusiast, the Grand Canyon National Park has something to offer everyone… but there’s so much more to do than just hiking and views that we’ll talk about in Things to do.

Don't miss the Stargazing in the Grand Canyon! If you drive into the park and can drive away from the Villages by heading east or west there is some amazing star gazing at night. Easier to do in the winter and early spring times for sure but very much worth it. My wife and I did it during the Valentine weekend and it was truly an amazing experience near the Hermits Rest.

The only tips is have are- There’s a lot of people at peak time so get there early . Don’t hang around others. It’s hot and you’re at an altitude. You get tired sooner and it’s the desert! Bring lots of water and don’t walk too far. If you’re not keeping up in terms of walking time just turn back. Don’t risk it. Nobody is carrying you back. Well maybe. But you’re going to get the bill.

hi Chris, I was just there last month, love getting memories of my trip come up by watching your video. Also for people who would like to visit during low season, February is a good month to go, just know there is snow on the trail so you have to be prepared and some roads are closed.

My grandmother has always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, and me too (don't worry, we're both fit). I'm really taking some notes here, this is a trip we'll be doing... probably by next year if all goes as planned. I wish there were more travel channels doing what you do; amazing stuff as always!

I need to go back one day to check out some of these trails! I went there a few years ago one October when I drove out to Utah and Arizona, and I only had a few hours there as I was going to Sedona. I think all I did was walk the rim trail along the South Rim. The views were quite amazing when I went!

Hi Chris. Thanks for the wonderful info. The train ride from Williams would be a very convenient way to visit the Grand Canyon. I would love to take the mule ride to the bottom and stay in one of those cabin. I think that would be a cool experience. Take care.

Amazing scenery of one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Not sure I could make the walk down, Chris, let alone up. I like the idea of a mule to take me though. They look pretty hardy. Wish I could see it. Thanks again.

Also, I stayed at the Maswik and I can tell you it is a good hotel, the bed was good and the rooms were updated, I saw some reviews where people complained about the rooms of the hotels near the rim, where the beds were old and the rooms were not good, so please everybody check out a lot of reviews prior to booking.

Is the $80 annual pass per car or per person? My husband and I are visiting 3 national parks next year so I just wanted to know which would be best

The pass is issued to a person. But it gets the whole car load of people in

Last minute Grand Canyon trip. I’m from Chicago visiting Scottsdale and taking a day trip to GC So overwhelmed Whats the popular trail with rails called? Have kids with me so don’t want anything to strenuous. Thank you

@YellowProductions 2 ай бұрын

Not sure about a trail with rails.. but the rim trail is a paved trail that is nearly flat and just goes along the canyon edge. That's what I'd do if you just want to admire some views

I’m truly sorry to say that the native tribes have turned the Grand Canyon West into an all around ugly commercial experience for all of us. Don’t waste your time and money on visiting the Grand Canyon West. An excellent and highly informative presentation as always, Chris.

Not true on my he airports many closer than flagstaff and if your talking only international then you have bullhead city/ Laughlin which is international and way closer for smaller ones you have kingman havasu and even McCarran Las Vegas would be closer than flagstaff and I have to look it up but I never heard flagstaff as an international one

@YellowProductions 2 ай бұрын

Flagstaff is the closest for commercial flights to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. It's way way closer than McCarran

@tcmayes8012 2 ай бұрын

hey chris I got confused I keep thinking of the west but still you are wrong bc kingman for sure has comercials flights and they have united I know bc my daughter works for united but to the rim you are talking about which ive been to also from las vegas then maybe flagstaff is closer i still find i very hard to belive its so out there also so cold and nasty and like 3 hours from kingman etc but im interested in the grand canyon west I keep forgetting your only talking about the main one where all the busses go to which is way better than driing yoursself and paying 35 dollars anyway thank you!! @@YellowProductions
