View from the South Rim

The Grand Canyon really needs no introduction. Millions of people come here to see it. The nice thing about this place is that everyone can see it in some way. Even the handicapped can access the viewpoints that look across the canyon. You can also take plane or helicopter rides to get a great perspective of this place. For the adventurous, there is the possibility of descending into the canyon by foot or pack animal. Some go all of the way down to the Colorado River and spend days in this region. Regardless of what type of traveller you are, few will leave this place without recognizing the grandeur of the Grand Canyon.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:A natural wonder of the world. Very pleasing to the eye.
  • Cons:Crowded in some places at certain times of the year
  • In a nutshell:It is popular for a reason. No matter how many pictures you have seen, it will surprise you.
