The Grand Canyon is one of the most famous natural wonders on Earth, carved by the Colorado River over millions of years.
The South Rim is open all year and offers classic viewpoints like Mather Point, while the quieter North Rim is open seasonally.
Pin Tip
Catch sunrise or sunset at the South Rim, when the canyon walls glow red and gold.
When to Go
Spring and fall bring milder weather. Summer is busy, and temperatures inside the canyon can be dangerously hot.
Hours, fees and reservation rules change. Check official websites before you travel.
