In northern Arizona lies one of America's most popular and most visited National Parks. Often listed among the world's great national wonders, this park attracts visitors from all over the world who stand in awe of its great presence. The park I'm referring to is, of course, Grand Canyon National Park. This natural wonder was created over a period of millions of years as the Colorado River carved its way through the rocky landscape.
Park Commentary:
The Grand Canyon is an awesome sight to see! When I went here, I stayed at a hotel in Flagstaff and drove north to the canyon. The road leading up...
To the Point
We hadn’t been to the Grand Canyon National Park in 15 years. When we found ourselves nearby we decided to spend the day. Although at first I said “Just another beautiful scene” the fact is that there is nothing like this National Park.
A Closer Look

We started at the Park’s Visitor Center and learned that there is a free shuttle bus. It makes...

One day he stated, "We can spend some of your trip in the northern part of the State, it's cooler up there".

He thought we could spend two days there. "Great" I thought, that will be a good amount of time there". Well a quick comment one afternoon sitting in my...

We arrived at the south rim late in the day. At sunset I was absolutely astonished by the beauty. There are no words that can describe the sunrise. It is imperative that everyone get up and watch at least one sunrise. The Park Service posts the sunset and sunrise times, and crowds are thick. A bus full of young German tourists arrived a few minutes before daybreak, and all the kids were blindfolded and lead to the viewing area...
read full review »Going to the Grand Canyon is a wonderful family trip! Your children will enjoy the "grandness" of the canyon as well as the great adventures they can have. They can travel down the canyon on foot or by donkey/mule. They can walk the trails and you can create your own scavenger hunt with the kids to do. We wrote down several things for them to take pictures of and then gave them disposable cameras. They had a great time looking for the animals and other things to take pictures of and when we got the pictures developed, we made a collage of things we saw at the Grand Canyon.
The tough thing about...
