3. 223,217,31 Enjoy the Starry Night Sky A Bit of Stargazing
Many times, a first-time visit to the Grand Canyon can leave you
scrambling to stick to your schedule, and if you didnt know what to
expect, you might fall behind. Understandably, not everyone is able
to stick around for the striking Grand Canyon sunset, but the next
time you plan a trip to the canyon, be sure to plan for a sunset
and a little bit of post-sunset stargazing. At the Grand Canyon,
away from all of the lights and sounds of the city, the sky opens
up to reveal and extremely vivid and populated night sky.
Stargazing has become so popular that both the north and south rims
of the Grand Canyon host stargazing parties every June. 3Grand

4. 223,217,31 Explore Both Rims Switch Rims Not everyone visits
the Grand Canyon South Rim on their first visit to the world-famous
landmark, and not everyone visits the North Rim, so the next time
you come to the Grand Canyon, try switching things up a little!
Each rim has something completely unique and worthwhile to offer,
and the North Rim is home to what many believe is a more authentic
Grand Canyon experience. Theres only one way to find out come for a
visit! 4Grand Canyon National Geographic Visitor Center 450 State

5. 223,217,31 Grand Canyon Winter Adventures Visit During the
Off-Season If hot weather, crowds, or waiting in line drives you
crazy, visiting the Grand Canyon during the colder months might be
just the vacation for you. With fewer people, thinner crowds, and
much shorter wait times, winter is a great time to visit the Grand
Canyon, but it does come with its own limitations. Unfortunately,
the North Rim is closed for the winter, and road conditions may
conspire to ruin your vacation. Plan ahead, however, and your
wintery Grand Canyon adventure will be full of striking frosted
imagery that summertime visitors miss out on. 5Grand Canyon

6. 223,217,31 Unforgettable Views Rent a Bike or take a Hike
Biking and hiking are staple activities of Grand Canyon tourism.
Every inch of the Grand Canyon National Park is full of gorgeous
scenery, so its no surprise that many flock to the canyon with the
intention of taking it in. If youre not too afraid of heights,
consider renting a bike and riding along one of the many available
canyon-adjacent trails for an unforgettable view and the chance to
find secret photo ops. 6Grand Canyon National Geographic Visitor

7. 223,217,31 Activities on a Bike, Hike or Mule Descend into
the Canyon on a Mule The bottom of the Grand Canyon is full of just
as many gorgeous sights as the top, especially if youre interested
in the many layers of rock exposed by the canyon. Hiking to the
canyon floor, however, can be an extremely difficult task for many.
The solution? Mules! Rent a mule and ride down into the canyon on a
guided tour, but be warned these mule rides are extremely popular,
so you may need to reserve one over a year in advance. 7Grand
