Throughout the past century. Canyon visitors are often surprised to learn that Grand Canyon sets no records for immense size. However, this landscape is defined as “grand” due to a combination of factors. The layers have been preserved almost perfectly. Nowhere else on Earth displays so many quantities of the planet’s history. The resulting landscape provides visitors with some of the most magnificent on the planet.
Scenic Spots
South Rim
There are trailhead of the Bright Angel Trail, historic buildings, and massive crowds. It is a popular stop for many travelers and provides an excellent point for viewing the canyon.
North Rim
With far fewer visitors, this area can be a great place to enjoy the peace and majesty (壮观) of the canyon. The main viewpoints are Bright Angel Point, Cape Royal, and Point Imperial.
Grand Canyon West
It is a viewpoint to overlook the last few miles of Grand Canyon. Activities include rafting trips on last few miles of whitewater and boat rides on the smooth waters of Lake Mead.
Havasupai Reservation
It is somewhat affected, the incredible canyon below the Supai Village is worth the visit. Visitors must park here and hike, ride, or fly to Supai near the waterfalls.
Transportation
By car
While the average distance across the canyon is only ten miles, there are no roads, meaning the trip by car is a five-hour drive of 215 miles. All private vehicles entering must pay a $35 entrance fee.
By bus
Bus is an option for customized travel times and locations, providing transportation at any time from any location with drivers that have expert knowledge of the Grand Canyon region.
By train
The train features a historic sightseeing during the way. However, it takes about twice as long as driving to the canyon. Individuals on a train must pay a $15 entrance fee.
