Top Canyons in Grand Canyon Village

I think you should consider getting the National Parks Pass if you're planning on visiting other parks... It saves a lot, plus it’s valid for a year!

My tip for avoiding the crowds is to explore the less popular viewpoints like Desert View Watchtower. You get amazing views and often have the place to yourself!

I recommend visiting the Mather Point viewpoint around sunrise. It's less crowded and the colors are just stunning, plus you'll beat the heat!

My advice is to download a trail map off the park website before you go. The signs are helpful, but they don't always show you all the trails, and a map can help you discover hidden gems.

I suggest hitting the lookout points in the early afternoon when the light is best for photos. The south rim is stunning then!

If you want to avoid the crowds, try the less popular trails like the Rim Trail. I found some breathtaking views without the hassle of mobs of people.

Pack your own snacks. The food options are limited and pricey. I brought granola bars and saved cash for a nice dinner later.

Bring a reusable water bottle. There are refill stations everywhere, and it’s a great way to stay hydrated and save money on bottled water

Consider borrowing a bus pass instead of driving. It saves on parking fees and lets you chill and enjoy the ride to Hopi Point without the hassle of finding a spot.

Get there at sunrise, around 6:00 AM, for stunning views and fewer crowds. Watching the sunrise at Hopi Point was pure magic and a much better experience than later in the day.

Pack a picnic to enjoy while soaking in the views. There's nothing better than having lunch with a perfect Grand Canyon backdrop. Just make sure to bring some trash bags to keep the place clean
