Grand Canyon
One of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, stretching 277 miles from end to end and 18 miles across at its widest point, the steep, rocky walls descend more than a mile down to the canyon’s floor, where the force of the Colorado River continuously carves out an inconceivable abyss of bewildering shapes and soaring sandstone pinnacles.

Best time to visit the Grand Canyon
The best time to visit the Grand Canyon depends on what you want to experience. Here's a breakdown of the different seasons:
If you prioritise hiking and mild weather, spring or autumn are excellent choices, however some trails and facilities may be closed due to snow and lower visitor numbers.
If you want to experience the Grand Canyon in its entirety and don't mind crowds, summer is your best option. All facilities will be open and this is the best time for water activities like rafting. Temperatures can get extremely high though so remember to bring lots of water.
For a quieter and more budget-friendly trip, consider visiting in winter. You can experience the canyon covered in snow and get the whole place to yourself but some facilities and roads will be closed including the entire North Rim which is closed from November to April, due to its higher elevation.
