Nothing is more serene and peaceful than a sunset over Grand Canyon South Rim. There are plenty of great places to catch both sunrise and sunset. The most popular is to simply walk along the rim trail and pick a private spot.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk, located at the West Rim, really stands out during and after a nice summer thundershower. Storms are brief and bring drama to the landscape. I can’t think of a better time to be at the Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon helicopters give you fantastic aerial views of the National Park. The most popular trip is a 30 minute rim to rim ride. It goes from South Rim to North Rim and back. I’m figuring that what you see from a chopper would take several days on the ground.

Grand Canyon National Park has plenty of things to do for kids like this junior ranger program. There’s also a 1-day smooth-water float tour down the Colorado River that kids four years of agen and up can do. Plenty of trails, too, but be conservative when going below the rim. Walking back to the top is strenuous.

The West Rim of the Grand Canyon is the only place where you can fly to the bottom. Here, a Papillon Helicopter pilot prepares to lift off from the bottom next to the Colorado River to the top of the Rim for the Skywalk segment of the trip.

Grand Canyon Skywalk’s deck panels cost a whopping $250,000 each! The entire Skywalk cost $30 million to build. You’ll notice that the gentleman cleaning the glass wall is wearing cloth booties, which are also required of all visitors as well in order to protect the glass from damage.

Sunrise at Grand Canyon is a special time. Visibility is at it’s best in the morning before breezes kick up dust. It’s a popular time in the morning for travelers so don’t be alarmed if you find others in search of the perfect spot to watch the sun rise.
