In a nutshell
A wonderous place and humbling experience
28 Reviews Our second sunset at the Grand Canyon was out at Desert View Point. You also get some great views of the snaking Colorado river from here. We went for the ranger talk which started about an hour before sunset and lasted about forty five minutes. We also took alook around the Desrt View...
60 Reviews WOW! Amazing experience! This was a once in a life-time opportunity for me. It is an expensive tour but as I say, once in a life-time. We were picked up at the back our hotel (Imperial Palace) and went by coach to the Grand Canyon. All passengers were split into groups once we got there; people...

Steakhouse At The Grand Canyon
14 Reviews This is not a review of the restaurant, it is a review about the below reviews. The phone number listed for the steakhouse (the number ending in 2278) is not the ACTUAL number for the steakhouse, it is the number for the neighboring WE COOK PIZZA AND PASTA. i know because i work at said restaurant...
12 Reviews When staying at the Canyon your food choices are somewhat limited. We had breakfast at the Bright Angel since we were staying at the Lodge. The dining room looks like the inside of a Denny's. The view from the windows are nice and we were seated in a comfy booth. Our waitress was quite nice and kept...
6 Reviews Two years ago my son and I were at Capital Reef in south central Utah. I had to go to the car and get an item and I happened to look up on a clear night. I yelled at my son to get out side and check out the night sky. We were both really impressed compared to the night sky in Iowa! Three weeks ago...
17 Reviews It's pretty much essential to use motor vehicle to drive to and inside the park. We reserved our vehicle (Dodge Caliber) from Budget Car Rental, Los Angeles Airport (LAX). We drove from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon starting early morning. The Distance is around 275 miles, roughly takes around 4...
18 Reviews SOUTH RIM: Vehicles are prohibited on Hermit Road west of the village from March through November so the only way to some of the vantage points is on foot or by park shuttle. This park is BUSY and traffic/parking is a huge problem so if you're not a hiker, this is the easiest way to get around. The...
3 Reviews General Store at Market Plaza operates a full-service grocery and department store with camping equipment sales/ rental. Canyon souvenirs. Digital photo printing is available. Open daily year-round, 8am to 7pm, additional open hours vary seasonally. We opted to go in here and bought ourselves some...
8 Reviews A visit to any national park, including the Grand Canyon in the section controlled by the national parks authority is free of charge for the week of the national park. In 2011, it coincided with Easter weekend. Probably, this is a fixed date unlike the Easter celebration with its mobile dates. The...
21 Reviews If you have ever seen pictures of the canyon, then you probably know that there are so many areas of the canyon that does not have railing. And if it does have railing then stay behind it for your protection. If there is no railing, then you put yourself at risk since many of the edges of the canyon...
16 Reviews Get a pair of comfortable shoes. The way down the trail strains the front part of you feet (toes), while the way back up the trail is a real challenge to your calves, especially if you are carrying a rucksack. It will ruin the whole experience, if you are all blisters when you get back to the rim of...
6 Reviews The West rim of the Grand Canyon was breathtaking but the people at best las vegas tours tainted our experience. They took my negative review off their website, they only put positive reviews on their website, extremely dishonest. These people are con men. The helicopter ride was about eight minutes...
2 Reviews We have stay there for 3 days, with the RV ,we have rent by Cruise America This was so beatiful to see. This is what you must seen, what in all these milljon years is happend, then yoy can seen that people are so little.
17 Reviews Keep cool and hydrated in the summer heat, (especially if going down to the canyon floor) 1. Buy several BPA-free water bottles with insulating sleeves, (I like the Camelback better bottle and sleeve, which you can attach to your belt). Instead of filling with water, fill it with ice before you...
9 Reviews Depending upon what time of year it is and how quickly it gets dark, you may need a flashlight. I was hiking last August and found myself trying to hike up the Soutrh Kaibab trail when I ran into another family with kids. I had the presence of mind to pack a flashlight. I asked the other family how...
12 Reviews I took part in a flight excursion from Las Vegas without landing at Hoover Dam. The Dam was built on the time of the big economic crisis, in 1930, but it is still a milestone in the story of the architecture. The dam surpassed all engineering records when the consruction works finished in 1935. This...
9 Reviews If at all possible, especially if you've never been to the South Rim, I recommend getting there through the east entrance. It takes longer if coming from the south but your first look at the canyon from Desert View is killer, and it's less congested than the south entrance, too. If coming from...
4 Reviews If you want a special hike in the Grand Canyon, go in the winter. I was there around dec 16th and it was perfect. No crowds, very quit and nice sunny weather for pictures with the snow. There can be fog in the mornings until 11 am. But if you want to hike down this should be no problem (ask the...
15 Reviews Wow, do I look tired in this picture! But I still want to show it to you, because it was the best memory I have about my visit to the Grand Canyon. I love sunsets and this is one I will never forget. I started that day very early in the morning, leaving from Las Vegas. I only had a few hours of...
16 Reviews Driving along Desert View Drive, we didn't have to fight the crowds on the special sunset shuttles. We went to watch the sunset but didn't hit it lucky for a great one. And it was COLD at night! Bring a heavy jacket if you go watch the sunset. It takes about 20 minutes to drive here from the park...
