Almost five million

people visit the Grand

Canyon every year.

This mile deep canyon

is separated into two

distinct points of view:

The SOUTH RIM, which is

responsible for 90% of

all tourism, and has an

average elevation of

7000 feet.

The NORTH RIM, which is

in a much more

remote area, and can

only be reached by a

21 mile hike through

the canyon or a 220

mile drive around the

canyon.

The South Rim is open year-round, while the North Rim operates from May 15 to

October 15; both entrances remain open 24 hours a day. The canyon has

extraordinary views no matter what season you visit. On the follow pages we

are going to highlight many points of interests of one of the world’s greatest

natural wonders.

Take a ride over to the

Desert View Watchtower,

this 70-foot, four-story

structure was completed

in 1932.

Fly above the canyon in

an affordable plane plane

ride; view the pure majesty

of the South Rim from the

sky.

When the wind gets chilly

and the snow begins to fall

the canyon becomes a

of the hikes, and bike trails

are open, but if your

warmer locations, try the

museums, or take a

helicopter ride to truly

appreciate the seasons

blessings.

The Corridor Trails are the only trails that are maintained and patrolled

frequently. These trails are South Kaibab, Bright Angel, and North Kaibab. In

addition to hiking and camping, you can raft and swim in the Colorado River.

There are over a dozen trails around the North Rim,

and the North Rim Visitor Center is a great place to

find the perfect trek. Soar over this often forgotten

side of the canyon on a beautiful, narrated plane

tour; the rides allow guests to glide over the Kaibab

National Forest and see parts of the canyon often

ignored by tourists.
