Grand Canyon National Park

Pros: Breathtaking Natural Scenery
Cons: You need to plan far in advance for most activities and lodging

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 ...

Pros: One-of-a-kind natural wonder, tourism village provides convenient and cozy dining and lodging.
Cons: Long drive from anywhere.

I’ll admit it – I was a reluctant visitor to Grand Canyon National Park. “It’s so faaaaaar!” I said. “It looks boooooring!” In the end, mr_chelledun prevailed, and the Grand Canyon was added to our West Coast ...

Pros: Much quieter than the South rim. Awesome views!!
Cons: Out of the way, add a few other National parks a few hours away

WHERE WE WENT As a side trip from Las Vegas last year My wife and I took our kids to three National Parks. We visited the North rim of Grand Canyon, went two hour north north-east to Bryce Canyon, and then headed back to ...

Pros: Awesome scenery, flying in on a Cessna is great
Cons: Expensive (but worth it)

I decided that since this was my 200th review, I would mark it by reviewing somewhere incredible. And nowhere fits that description quite as well as The Grand Canyon, which is easily the most amazing place I’ve ever been to. (And considering ...

Pros: Hiking across the canyon is a trip of a lifetime.
Cons: Careful planning is essential. This hike could be life-threatening.

I was never much of a long-distance hiker, so I don’t know exactly where the idea of hiking across the Grand Canyon came from. My husband never walked anywhere he could ride, so it must have been my idea. This hike occurred about 1960, but I imagine that...

Pros: beautiful, 7 wonders, relaxing
Cons: drilling, price, weather

On our vacation to Las Vegas, we decided we would take a trip to see the Grand Canyon. We heard of an airline that flies into an airport near the Grand Canyon, but we decided we would drive there. Only a four hour drive, and you pass by the Hoover...

Pros: gorgeous vistas everywhere you look, chance for isolation
Cons: heavy use areas overcrowded

There's a standing joke about the introductory geology course in college -- they call it "Rocks for Jocks." G100 has always been considered an easy 'A,' a quick means of ridding education, business, and phys ed majors of a pesky science...

Pros: Good planes and a large variety of tours.
Cons: Not the cheapest and you may feel like you are being herded like cows.

If you've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon, but you don't have too much time while you're in Las Vegas, then you should consider taking one of Scenic Airlines' tours.

(Please note that this is a review about the Grand Canyon tour...

Pros: amazing scenery, peaceful communing with nature, day trip from Las Vegas
Cons: no guard rails near edge at places, my tour company was awful

When I made my trip to Las Vegas last year I decided to take a day to visit the Grand Canyon. I'd never been there and it seemed like a golden opportunity. After much research I decided to fly to the South Rim on a Vision Air tour. I had some real...

Pros: Breathtaking views, great visitors centers and attractions, great geology and history lessons...
Cons: Can be crowded, it's an inconvenient location for just about anyone...

There is of course no sense at all in trying to describe the Grand Canyon.  Those who have not seen it will not believe any possible description.  Those who have seen it know that it cannot be described...It is not a show place, a ...

Pros: Grand Canyon is a beautiful thing
Cons: This particular tour company is deceitful

It was just under a year ago, August 23rd 1999, to be exact when I set out to do one thing which I figured would be most impressive, make a certain someone feel like the most special lady on earth. What happened was not what I had planned for. (This is...

Pros: One of the Seven Natural World Wonders, Incredible and Thought Provoking
Cons: Costs, Crowds

Our recent trip to Arizona provided us an opportunity to see the Grand Canyon. Interestingly, I have been in the state of Arizona a dozen or more times, and have even been within 60 miles of the Grand Canyon on at least three occasions, but this was the...

Pros: Much to offer
Cons: One day is not enough

I suspect you could spend years exploring the Grand Canyon. Or perhaps one lifetime is not enough.
We were only able to spend a day at the Grand Canyon so will have to return another time. While we were there we bought a compelling book, Over...

Pros: Stunning scenery! Great hiking. Abundant wildlife. Relative lack of crowds. Grand Canyon Lodge.
Cons: Can't get there in winter!

The Grand Canyon is in a word AWESOME! If there is one scenic natural wonder that all Americans should see at least once, it is this huge chasm stretching well over 300 miles across Northern Arizona with a width of up to a dozen miles and depths of up ...

Pros: scenery, sense of accomplishment
Cons: NONE!

Regardless of whether you are an avid outdoorsman or just someone looking for a new experience, the Grand Canyon is something you will NEVER forget. There is no other place in the world like it. Not only do you get the pleasure of seeing such beautiful ...
