Anyone been to the Grand Canyon?
« on: August 25, 2011, 08:50:09 am »
I'm planning on going to the Grand Canyon in the next few days.  I've never been.  I'll be flying into Phoenix.  What information can you give me about it.

What do you know about lodging, transportation etc.  I won't have a car but may rent one if it's more convenient.

I've been there a couple times and it's absolutely breath-taking.  I've seen it from above which was amazing, and years later my dad took me on a week long rafting trip through the canyon.  Words can't describe how awesome the canyon is from below.  If you have the time, and can do one of the mule rides down into the canyon, I'd recommend taking that trip - may be scary as I've heard some of the paths are narrow on the way down/up, but you won't be disappointed.  Either that or see if you can get a helicopter ride through a portion of the canyon.

Hope you have safe travel and a lot of fun!

No, but I would like to get there one day.  Same for Niagara Falls and a few other natural wonders.

I have never been to the Grand Canyon but would absolutely LOVE to visit! I am sure that any photos taken there would be beautiful.

Nature is truly amazing and if anyone has the opportunity to go and enjoy it, they should grasp it as soon as they can!

Good luck, be safe, and bring plenty of water with you if you go off hiking or trailing!  And take lots of pictures!!!

I have just had a opportunity to visit the yellowstone grand canyon and it is fantastic.  The mountains are awesome and the many hot springs and falls are breathtaking.  God's beautiful creation!!!

I've been there a few time's, when I was younger my family used to go on family trip's every summer so I was lucky enough to go the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone I love them both. The last time I went, which was about three year's ago with my husband, we took a Helicoptor down into the canyon and that was breath taking, we flew over Vegas  and had luch in the canyon, I just loved flying over the canyon, took alot of picture's. I was scared at first, cause I hate height's, but once we went up and started moving I was fine and we sat up front by the pilot. When you go you should check out the helicoptor ride's that they have there, course I'm not sure where you are staying, we got our's when we were in Vegas. Have fun and enjoy yourseld. :wave:

Decided to go later either September or October.  I read that was the best time to go.  Thanks for the suggestions.  Now I can better plan for it.
