Pro tips to help you make a pick

Choose the canyon section that best suits your interests: the South Rim for iconic views, the North Rim for a quieter, more secluded experience, or the West Rim for unique activities like the Skywalk.

Plan your visit based on the adventure you’re seeking as well—whether it’s a helicopter tour, a rafting trip, a hummer ride, or another exciting activity, each area of the Grand Canyon offers something unique!

Before booking, check the physical requirements of your chosen tour. Helicopter and bus tours are great for all ages, while hiking and rafting require higher fitness levels. If accessibility and convenience are priorities, consider visiting the South Rim, which is more user-friendly.

For a hassle-free experience and great value, choose bus tours that often include meals, transportation, and stops at additional attractions like the Hoover Dam.

The entrance fees are $45 for the West Rim and $35 for Grand Canyon National Park. Most of the tours include the entry fee, but be sure to check the specific inclusions of each ticket.

The canyon is home to over 1,000 caves, but only about 335 have been explored and just one cave is open to the public for visits.

The Great Unconformity is a geological phenomenon at the canyon where 250-million-year-old rock layers sit atop 1.2-billion-year-old rocks, resulting in a gap of nearly 950 million years of missing geological history.

Within the canyon lies Supai Village, the most remote community in the continental United States, with a population of around 208 residents and accessible only by foot, helicopter, or mule.
