Everything you need to know before you go to the Grand Canyon National Park. The Grand Canyon is the 2nd most visited National Park with nearly 5 million visitors per year. It's a sprawling 1,218-square-mile natural wonder in Arizona, carved by the mighty Colorado River over millions of years. The canyon itself is a mile deep and up to 18 miles wide, offering breathtaking vistas and a glimpse into millions of years of geological history. Most people think of the Grand Canyon as a desert, but it’s actually a forest! It’s set at an elevation of 7,000 feet and it’s home to tons of greenery and wildlife too. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a casual sightseeing enthusiast, the Grand Canyon National Park has something to offer everyone… but there’s so much more to do than just hiking and views that we’ll talk about in Things to do.

  • @Twinsen764
    Seems like I already visited the grand canyon with this video!
  • @YungMamba404
    I always end up watching your videos when i plan a trip. I literally just booked my airbnb in AZ then opened YouTube and saw this video. the timing is perfect 😂
  • @goddess131
    hi Chris, I was just there last month, love getting memories of my trip come up by watching your video. Also for people who would like to visit during low season, February is a good month to go, just know there is snow on the trail so you have to be prepared and some roads are closed.
  • @psitti5906
    Absolutely high quality content, Chris! This video really help me plan for my upcoming trip to the canyon in June 😊 A big thank you for putting in the work and sharing this video with the world.
  • @cwstyle3
    Hi Chris. Great review and thank you for sharing. 🤗
  • @colleenh5979
    Wow ! Great video, loads of excellent information, beautiful views. Really enjoyed watching it. Thanks Chris
  • @bnap311
    Your vids have definitely improved over the years! Love the editing, the vid quality, and the visual graphics. Nicely done!!
  • This is such an in depth video ! I’ve been to the Grand Canyon for a day trip, and I had no idea about all these other things that you can do while you were there! Thanks for taking the time for making this. I’m sure it took a lot of time and effort.🎉
  • @scottman895
    I need to go back one day to check out some of these trails! I went there a few years ago one October when I drove out to Utah and Arizona, and I only had a few hours there as I was going to Sedona. I think all I did was walk the rim trail along the South Rim. The views were quite amazing when I went!
  • @SweetandWays
    Great video thank you for all the informations. I will watch next the zion national park.
  • @70n24
    My grandmother has always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, and me too (don't worry, we're both fit). I'm really taking some notes here, this is a trip we'll be doing... probably by next year if all goes as planned. I wish there were more travel channels doing what you do; amazing stuff as always!
  • @mocrg
    The only tips is have are- There’s a lot of people at peak time so get there early . Don’t hang around others. It’s hot and you’re at an altitude. You get tired sooner and it’s the desert! Bring lots of water and don’t walk too far. If you’re not keeping up in terms of walking time just turn back. Don’t risk it. Nobody is carrying you back. Well maybe. But you’re going to get the bill.
  • New subscribers here! Thank you for sharing Chris❤️❤️❤️ been watching your videos this past weeks.. will be going to LA this April. And planning to go to Grand Canyon also. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Japan
  • This was really very well done and sensible and helpful for travelers. I am going in September and have saved this to reference before I go. Thank you.
