Are Grand Canyon tours worth it?
A Grand Canyon tour can be a great experience for anyone. It is a fun way to explore the beauty of nature and it also offers the opportunity to learn about the history of this natural wonder.
Grand Canyon tours are designed for people with varying amounts of time, different interests, and fitness levels. There are many different types of available tours, including day hikes, Hummer tours, helicopter flights, camping trips, off-road adventures and more.
What time of day is best to visit the Grand Canyon?
The Grand Canyon is a breathtaking sight to behold no matter what time of day you visit it. However, the best time to visit depends on what matters the most to you.
The golden hour, which is the time shortly following sunrise or before sunset, is ideal for capturing the Grand Canyon's most beautiful colors. This time of day offers the perfect light to take photographs. The redder, softer light ensures that your pictures will be much more aesthetically pleasing than if you had taken them in the morning or in the evening.
If you want to avoid crowds, get started early by watching the sunrise. Afterward, the Visitor Center and many other Grand Canyon National Park facilities are open during the peak months of May-September from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the off-season of October-April.
What tours in Grand Canyon National Park are 1 hour or less?
If you want to explore the Grand Canyon National Park from the South Rim but have a limited amount of time, there are several tours that take about about an hour, such as:
- North Canyon Tour - 25 to 30 minutes
- Grand Kingdom - 45 to 50 minutes
- Grand Discovery Air Tour - 40 to 45 minutes
