The Grand Canyon National Park Foundation — Attraction in Flagstaff

I mean what’s to say... it’s amazing!!!! We arrived on a Monday morning in June. Got there before 9:00 and had only a few minutes waiting to get in. Get there early if you can. It was $35.00 per car good for 7 days. We went to the deli and got sandwiches and ate a lunch looking over the rim.😊. Went on the buses that drive around the park. Schedule is a bit confusing at times but drivers will help. Most of the staff is friendly. Big gift shop in the “ grocery/ deli” store. Park was clean, but restrooms are old and hot. We left mid afternoon and came back that evening for a star gazing show. There were several people there that had big telescopes set up and they would tell us about the stars we were looking at.

If you have more time obviously hiking down and staying in a lodge would be amazing. We only had 4 or 5 hours there so just marveling from the rim had to suffice. Definitely...

A beautiful geological area. I hiked all the way down to the Colorado River and back up on the same day. It was approximately 22 miles. Packing a lot of water essentials specially if you are doing the hike during the summer. The temperature down at the river can get to 130F with an elevation loss of 4500 feet. Only 1% of the Grand Canyon visitors hike the Canyon. If you find a campsite, I suggest you do that and enjoy stargazing at night. You would definitely be able see the Milky Way. If you got the energy to hike Rim to rim (Khaibab to the South Rim), it won’t be a horrible idea, just a...
