Grand Canyon
The word "grand" doesn't even come close to describing this canyon. This massive chasm in northern Arizona is truly a natural wonder, measuring approximately 277 river miles in length, up to 18 miles in width, and a mile deep. The Grand Canyon has been expanding for 6 million years thanks to the mighty Colorado River, and visitors from all over the world have flocked to see its red and orange splendor. The Grand Canyon, which is managed by the National Park Service and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is awe-inspiring to its 6 million annual visitors.
However, if you're looking for a secluded retreat to Mother Nature, you'll need to be prepared: It is possible that the Grand Canyon will be extremely crowded. The Grand Canyon Village and the well-worn Bright Angel Trail are located on the South Rim, which is particularly popular with sightseers and hikers. The majority of the amenities are located on this side. Head to the North Rim to get away from the crowds. This is the place to go if you want to go camping in the woods or go hiking in the mountains. Consider taking a helicopter tour of the canyon for an unforgettable view.
