The closest part of the Grand Canyon (the West Rim) is located about 1300 miles east of Las Vegas in the neighboring state of Arizona. This natural structure’s beauty is often understated, in part because it is too glorious to capture in mere words. All it takes is a glimpse of its stunning beauty, and it’s easy to see why millions of visitors tour the canyon annually.

At its deepest point, the canyon is a mile deep from the top to the majestic Colorado River below. In some places, the canyon is more than 18 miles wide. History has it that The Grand Canyon was once inhabited by ancient communities thousands of years ago. There are some ruins here that indicate the presence of the region’s inhabitants in those early years.

As far as its appearance is concerned, the Grand Canyon was formed from remarkable geographical changes, as evidenced by the layered bands of red rock.

The South Rim is the most popular section of the canyon as it is easily accessible and provides stunning views across the landscape. On a good day, visibility can be up to 100 miles! There are many lookout points, including the Yavapai Observation Station, Mather Point, as well as Mary Colter’s Lookout Studio.

Mather Point is home to the Canyon View Visitor’s Centre, where you can find more information about the canyon, maps, as well as a bookstore. For those who love a good sunrise and sunset, then Lipan Point is the perfect place to be as it is loved for its amazing wide views of the canyon and the river below.

In addition to this, other exciting activities that you can enjoy include hiking the canyon, taking a scenic flight for a marvelous aerial view, as well as river rafting on the Colorado River.

With so much to do and see at The Grand Canyon, there is no reason not to explore this phenomenal attraction!
