Forest Travel Reviews a trip to the Grand Canyon. The beauty of the Grand Canyon’s landscape is beyond words.  Easily defined as one of the seven true wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon has amazed, inspired, and struck awe in the hearts of travelers since time began. 

The grandest of all canyons have to be personally viewed to take in the vast beauty a mile deep, 18 miles across, and more than 250 miles in length at the river.

Forest Travel Reviews states that pictures, videos, or stories don’t do justice to the experience a visitor has while standing at the edge of this magnificence. 

Whether you wake up before dawn and watch the sunrise over the red canyon walls or test your mettle on a strenuous hike to the bottom of the canyon, there is something for every visitor to the Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon Village sits precariously perched high atop the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  With more than 4 million visitors to the park each year, the Village provides lodging and amenities for every adventurer.  Cabins, hotel rooms, and camping spots are all available within the Village.  However, Forest Travel Reviews recommends heading to the park early, as it is trendy, and reservations fill up quickly.  If you intend to stay within the Village, start booking your tickets a year from when you plan ongoing.  This will spare you the headache and stress of missing your opportunity.  If the Grand Canyon Village doesn’t entice you, there are plenty of other lodging opportunities to explore around the park.

North Rim

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is only accessible by a few roads in the northwest corner of Arizona.  The North Rim is also closed during winter due to the massive amounts of snow that usually accumulate there. Forest Travel Reviews states that the North Rim is just as spectacular as the South Rim and offers fewer crowds and as many hiking opportunities as the South Rim of the canyon.

Hiking

If hiking is your passion, this is the place to do it.  The Grand Canyon offers hundreds of miles of trails for novice and advanced hikers.  The trails around the canyon vary from gently sloping paved trails along the rim to quad-punishing switchbacks that scale the canyon walls and lead to a river oasis at the bottom of the canyon.
