For many, the breathtaking expansive views, colorful buttes, and hidden depths of the Grand Canyon stand as an icon of the American West and the national park system. Be sure to take the time to watch the play of light and shadows across this amazing wonder. Wander along a trail and feel the sunshine and [...]
We had a couple of days visiting the grand canyon on a trip of south west usa earlier this year. it was everything you’ve heard about and more. Indescribable vastness, absolutely gorgeous. i could never do it justice trying to describe it because it has to be experienced, however, i hope to pass on [...]
I took the train in Williams. The home of the Grand Canyon Railway. I upgraded our tickets and had drinks served to us as we traveled. I really enjoyed the way the Hotel decorated for the Polar Express and how Christmas was being celebrated there in Williams. Parents and children were in PJ’s. [...]
Spending many hours watching people come to view one of Mother Nature’s best creations is very enjoyable. No matter where people come from, it is always interesting to see their reaction to such a marvelous place like the Grand Canyon South Rim.
The shuttle bus that runs through the park is a convenient option. Take the [...]

I visited the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago while on vacation in the USA. We camped at the Grand Canyon for a couple of days giving us to time to really explore this vast wonder. It is absolutely breathtaking. Until you stand at the edge, you really don?t have any idea just how [...]
During my 3 months in the US I have heard the word “Awesome” used in all sorts of situations - “an awesome pass”, during a football game, “an awesome meal”, “an awesome body” etc. But using this word in connection with The Grand Canyon is definitely one of the few correct usages of such a [...]
When you first come upon it no words can’t describe it. It is simply one of the most unbelievable sights you will ever see. There are so many trails to explore. Take your pick I prefer the mule trips, easier on the feet. One of the best steam train trips is here. The Grand canyon [...]
We spent the night at the KOA campground just outside Williams, Arizona. This was a really nice campground - the kids hit the pool the second we got there and I couldn’t wait to get in the shower. The showers were very clean. The office has a well-stocked store and there is a small outdoor [...]
