I tried to imagine in my head what it would be like. I have seen several movies over my almost 35 years with the Grand Canyon in it & what I saw in person versus in the movie was totally different. For whatever reason, your head can't really wrap around how big & expansive the Grand Canyon actually is.
We allotted one of our days from our "Northern Arizona Tour" (more on that later) to seeing the Grand Canyon & with a 6 year old in June, I felt like it was totally an adequate amount of time. We spent 3 hours exploring the grounds & the south rim itself & already have on our agenda to go back. Next time though, we want to ride burros to the bottom. Yes, it's a thing! I would be okay floating the Colorado River through it to, but that's me.
One nice perk about the park, they have plenty of lodging, a market for all last minute grocery needs & dining options, if cooking isn't up your alley. There are also several lodging options just outside the park gates, along with a handful of dining options ranging from your trusty McDonald's to some mom and pop places & Starbucks. We actually got an Airbnb in Flagstaff for our entire tour stay, so it worked out perfectly driving in for the day.
A few of my favorite photos from our first Grand Canyon trip are below.
If you don't take any ledge standing pictures, did you actually even go to the Grand Canyon?
