Grand Canyon National Park Sights

  1. Bright Angel Trail

    The most popular of the corridor trails, the Bright Angel is wide, well graded and easy to follow. It's equally attractive to first-time canyon hikers and seasoned pros, as well as mule trains, making it a heavily trafficked route. But the din doesn't lessen the sheer beauty of it all.

  2. Canyon View Information Plaza

    About 275m (300 yards) behind Mather Point, Canyon View Information Plaza encompasses a visitor center and the Books & More Store. Outside the visitor center, bulletin boards and kiosks display information on ranger programs, the weather, tours etc. One display presents photos from each viewpoint - an excellent orientation to the rim.

  3. Havasu Canyon

    One of the Grand Canyon's true treasures, this is a hidden valley with four stunning, spring-fed waterfalls and inviting azure swimming holes in the heart of the Havasupai Reservation. Because the falls lie 16km (10mi) below the rim, most trips are combined with a stay at either Havasu Lodge in Supai (the only village within the Grand Canyon) or at the nearby campground. For a spot at Havasu Campground you need to book six months to a year ahead.

  4. Marble View

    Our favorite of the many Kaibab Forest overlooks, this viewpoint makes a spectacular picnic or camping spot. From the meadow, covered with Indian paintbrush and hiding Coconino sandstone fossils, views extend over the eastern edge of the canyon to the paper-flat expanse beyond.
