Grand Canyon attractions

Slightly less busy than the tourist-heavy area of Grand Canyon South, but boasting some of the Grand Canyon's most exciting activities – and some of the best views of the whole national park – Grand Canyon West is the place to go if you're hoping to enjoy some of the area's more adrenaline-packed activities. With whitewater rafting, swooping helicopter rides, and the Skywalk glass bridge all located in the vicinity of Grand Canyon West, it's a thrillseeker's paradise! But if you just want to kick back and enjoy the spectacular scenery from Guano Point, explore the Native American village at Eagle Point Viewpoint, rent a cabin in Hualapai Ranch, or drift peacefully down the Colorado River in a kayak, you can do all that too.

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is widely known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World. It was carved by the Colorado River in Arizona and is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide - and over a mile deep!
