Grand Canyon & Arizona Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Siobhan Blest -  expert
Siobhan Blest

The Grand Canyon is a must for road trips around Western USA. The South Rim is the widest part of the canyon and offers miles of walking trails along with options to head down into the canyon. There's also a free shuttle that runs around the Grand Canyon Village which offers 4 or 5 different routes from the village itself out to the best viewpoints for sunset or sunrise - it's a great way to get around for the less mobile or for those who want to ditch the car.

Roie Mamane -  expert
Roie Mamane

The Grand Canyon is a hikers paradise! There are endless trails in and out of the canyon with scenery that takes your breath away. I could spend weeks exploring all this place has to offer.
