First off, our pictures cannot do this place any justice. It is one of the most breathtaking locations to date, and you have to see it in person to recognize its beauty. Obviously our suggestions below are a little different than other places with it being a National Park, but you definitely will not run out of things to do here. One of our favorite spots in the canyon is Hopi Point for the sunset, so try to put that on your list when visiting. We went in February, so it was very comfortable weather, but during the winter months, the northern rim is typically closed off. Lastly, if you are visiting with kids, be aware that the fencing is limited. We will be going back at some point, so let us know about your favorite spots there as well in case we missed them!
