It is the majestic scale of Grand Canyon that will remain in your memory long after your visit. The canyon spans a remarkable length of 277 miles and is up to 18 miles wide in places and a breathtaking one mile deep. The South Rim is the most accessible area of the park and is open year round, while the higher North Rim is closed in winter.There are several options for accommodation in the park, including lodges and campsites. Day hiking and overnight backpacking below the rim are the most popular activities.

Helicopter and light plane flips over the canyon are available outside the park, and you can also visit the spectacular Grand Canyon Skywalk in the Hualapai Reservation at Grand Canyon West.
