Over the course of two days, we were able to stop at almost all of the view points along the south rim of the park. We also got to hike along the rim for a while and even started down a trail to the canyon floor, but didn’t get very far. We learned our lesson about how going down is easy while up is hard, more so in the AZ sun. In person, you realize the actual size of the Grand Canyon, not just how deep it is but how wide. The formations and the colors are striking. The secret to visiting here is to arrive early before it gets too crowded.
