Centred around an immense gorge on the Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most popular natural destinations in the United States. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its sweeping viewpoints, extensive hiking trails and fascinating museums.
Learn about the natural and cultural history of the Grand Canyon during a ranger talk or enjoy the scenic drive to Hermit’s Point along the South Rim. Soak up the spectacular panoramas along the Rim Trail or get a bird’s-eye view of the gorge during a scenic flight from the Grand Canyon National Park Airport.
Want to escape the crowds? Head to the more remote North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park to take in the magnificent vistas from the Toroweap Overlook. Trek down to the Colorado River along the North Kaibab Trail or embark on a multi-day white-water rafting trip down this iconic waterway.
