Grand Canyon National Park is home to its namesake, the Grand Canyon, which is famous for its impressive vistas and beautiful layered bands of red-hued rock. Visitors may view the canyon from a number of viewpoints around the rim. Additionally, hiking and donkey tours down to the canyon floor are popular, as is paddling the river through the canyon. If you visit in April, the South Rim will be open, however the North Rim is closed for the winter until the middle of May. Hikers and skiers with backcountry permits may still enter this time of year, but all roads on the North Rim are closed. You will find the daytime temperatures to be nice and cool and the crowds to be thinner than in the summer.
