Grand Canyon
Day Hiking
Tremendous views from a ridge line that descends into The Canyon! Blasted out of the rock by Havasupai laborers, this man made trail has inspired travelers for nearly 100 years. Logical turnaround points are at Ooh Aah Point (2 mile round trip, 600' down and up), Cedar Ridge (3 miles round trip,1,140' down and up), and Skeleton Point (6 miles round trip, 2,040' down and up).

The Classic. Walking down this ancient path, hikers are staring across the widest part of Grand Canyon formed by The Bright Angel Fault. This popular trail features rest houses and water (seasonally) at regular intervals. Logical turnaround points are at Mile-and-A-Half (3 mile round trip, 1000' down and up) and Three-Mile Rest Houses (6 mile round trip, 2000' down and up).

Leaving from the Bright Angel Trail head, this trail travels along the Rim parallel to the Hermit Road. It takes hikers to numerous overlooks including Trail Overlook, Hopi Point, and Mahave Point.

Sightseeing
The destination is the journey, so they say. Traveling the Hermit Road takes visitors past many excellent viewpoints and away from the crowds. Extra points if you rent bikes at the Visitor Center and pedal all the way here!

An excellent stop along the rim with rare views of the Colorado River. This site was home to the first lodge on the Rim and is close to where conquistadors saw the Grand Canyon for the first time in 1540. The unnamed viewpoints just beyond are great too if you want to get away from the crowds.

A must visit vista in my opinion. Features views of the river down towards Phantom Ranch and up towards the Confluence. Don't miss the Native American murals on each level of the tower itself! Also, the ice cream nearby is awesome!

Delicious pub grub menu with extensive local beer tap list to match. Catch some live music on the patio or just soak up the sun with a cold brew.

As the oldest lodge in operation on the South Rim, El Tovar is worth a visit. Stop in to see the architecture, or better yet, have a drink in the bar. If you feel like treating yourself to a fancy meal after your hike, this is your place. Just be sure to make a reservation.

Museums
Besides the panoramic views from the windows there, the Geology Museum provides detailed, easy to understand exhibits on how Grand Canyon came to be. Ranger Talks here are fantastic!

On the way to Desert View Watchtower, don't miss this fascinating archaeological site. Walk the pueblo and examine artifacts inside. This museum is an excellent primer on the Native peoples who once, and still do, call Grand Canyon home.
