What to expect

Get ready to explore the magnificent Grand Canyon, the world's natural wonder carved over the course of millions of years by gradual erosion by the Colorado River.

Start this self-driving audio tour at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, where you can learn about the canyon's geology and have more understanding of how this area was developing. The Native Americans inhabited the Grand Canyon for thousands of years, and you will stop by Hopi House, a native copy of the houses they used to live in.

See the remains of one of the first campsites, as well as the old El Tovar Hotel with its rustic charm, and Bright Angel Lodge with the fireplace built of rocks from every period of the Grand Canyon's history. Grand Canyon is all about the awe-inspiring views and special atmosphere. To experience it more, visit the Kolb Studio, a photography studio on the edge of the rim. There are few viewpoints with their own features and fantastic panoramas. For instance, at Maricopa Point, you can learn about a prospector who could have become a millionaire. At Powell Point, you can see a place where a ceremony to declare the Grand Canyon a National Park was held. From Hopi Point, you can look at the hills named after the Egyptian Gods.

Lastly, you will come to the Hermit's Rest, where early visitors could take a break and admire the last views before going back to Grand Canyon Village. Don't hesitate to do the same.
