Day 4: In Grand Canyon National Park, USA

Located in Arizona, USA, the Grand Canyon National Park encompasses 450km of the Colorado River and kilometres of adjacent uplands. The Canyon is 1.6 km deep and 26km wide. The Grand Canyon is mostly valued for its size, depth, and colourful geology (rocks date right back to the Precambrian era).  The main public areas of the park are the North and South Rims. The rest of the canyon is just pure rugged and inaccessible terrain. Most of the touristic traffic (about 90%) is received at the south rims and the rest and by the north rims and adjacent uplands. 


Before visiting the canyon, lodging, fuel, food, and passes to the trails can be carried out at the Grand Canyon Village. In the village, many guides are available to help tourists through their time at the site. Visitors access the South Rim by Arizona State Route 64. The North Rim (2,400) is higher in elevation than the South Rim and to this effect, the North Rim is usually closed during winter seasons due to enhanced snowfall. Complete driving time from North to South Rim is about 4 hours covering a distance of 350km. 

For lovers of hitchhiking, there are some trails accessible for hitchhikers. Among the trails, is the South Rim trail which is very difficult for hiking (there is no easy hiking trail in the grand canyon), your adventure might end in a disaster if you decide to venture for the undoable. Many day hikes are available for hikers on their Site. If you wish to see the site from the air, helicopter flights and small aeroplanes can be booked at Las Vegas, Phoenix, and at the Grand Canyon National Airport, though scenic flights are the canyon are strictly controlled within park boundaries, some flights are still available outside of the park boundaries.
