The sheer size of the Grand Canyon is overwhelming!
These pages provide a glimpse into the
Canyon with suggestions to have a good experience and background
information about the history of the Canyon.
The
number of visitors to the Grand Canyon has been rising for the past few
years. There were 2.2 million visitors to the park between January and
June 2004- a 7.2 percent jump over the previous year, according to the
National Park Service.
Since 9/11, there had been a drop in
visitors- a trend seen by most national parks. That trend is shifting
upward as more people are travelling again.
Take a photo tour around the Grand Canyon with several Canyon tours.
