Grand Canyon
Arizona, United States
Steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. It lies in the canyon country of the Colorado Plateau, most comfortable in spring and autumn.
Why visit: The Colorado Plateau — canyons, slot canyons and incised meanders cut a mile deep into red rock.
- ›Watch sunrise or sunset from the rim — the light is the whole point
- ›Carry far more water than feels sensible
- ›Remember the climb back out takes twice as long as the descent
- ›Book slot-canyon tours ahead; several are on tribal land and require a guide
