Things to See and Do in The Grand Canyon

Arizona has good reason for being called The Grand Canyon State. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon stretches 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and descends over a mile down. The canyon attracts millions of visitors every year who take tours along its edges or descend down the rocky steeps into its eroded depths. With such bountiful terrain comes an excess of wonderful hiking trails for both day hiking and backpacking, and here are our picks for the best that the canyon has to offer whether you’re walking for the scenery or the challenge.
