About GrandCanyonTravel.com

An independent guide to one great canyon, written to be useful.

GrandCanyonTravel.com exists to answer the questions people actually ask before a trip to the Grand Canyon: which rim to visit, how to get there from Las Vegas or Phoenix, when to go, how hot it gets, what to book, how to hike safely and where to sleep.

What we cover

Grand Canyon National Park — the South Rim viewpoints, Grand Canyon Village, the scenic drives, the main trails, the Colorado River and the seasonal North Rim — together with Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai Reservation, Havasu Falls, and the canyon country around them: Page with Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, Williams and Route 66, Flagstaff and Sedona. Each main sight has its own guide, and the practical pages cover seasons, safety, transport, itineraries and accommodation.

How we work

Practical details are checked against official sources — chiefly the National Park Service, the Hualapai and Havasupai tribes’ own information, and the operators themselves — and reviewed regularly. Tour ratings, review counts and “from” prices come directly from GetYourGuide; accommodation listings from Booking.com.

Fees, opening seasons, trail conditions and the status of the North Rim change. Where something is liable to change we say so, and we link to live prices rather than printing figures that will date. We are not affiliated with the National Park Service, the tribes, or any of the attractions or operators mentioned.

How the site is funded

The guide is free to read. When you book a tour or a place to stay through our links we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. That never decides what we recommend — see our affiliate disclosure.

Plan your Grand Canyon trip

Popular dates sell out. Book before you go.

Helicopter flights, Antelope Canyon time slots and small-group tours have limited places, and spring, summer and holiday weekends fill up early. Compare and reserve in a couple of taps — most tours can be cancelled free of charge.
