Grand Canyon National Park

The Grand Canyon National Park has a trail for everyone - there's wheelchair accessible trails (The Rim Trail), backcountry trails for overnight camping (wilderness permit required), and short distance trails for the day-hiker. The trail identified on our interactive trail map is probably the most popular, and only one of many trails available. What makes this trail convenient for everyone is the shuttle bus that operate almost every half hour throughout the day between both ends of the trail. This allows the backcountry hiker to catch a lift to the trailhead furthest from the village, and get a head start on the day. The shuttle bus stops at designated points along the length of the trail. And it's not uncommon to take a ride to the end of the trail, just to take another ride back and enjoy the scenery. The shuttle bus is also "environmentally friendly" - sensitive to both the sounds we hear and the air we breathe.

The Grand Canyon Village has all of the conveniences of a sml town, including a bank, post office, general store, a lodge, laundry and showers, and more.

There's a new visitor center at the Grand Canyon and it's called The Canyon View Information Plaza - accessible by shuttle bus or a short stroll from Mather Point. The information center provides information about short hikes, daily ranger programs, and canyon viewpoints. The Canyon View Information Center is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The Yavapai Observation Station has exhibits on display about the fossil record at Grand Canyon, and there's educational materials about the park and region available for sale in the non-profit bookstore, open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
