You’ve read about it in books. You’ve seen it in the movies. You spotted it at #10 on our national parks list<\/a>. Offering unique adventures and otherworldly views, Grand Canyon National Park lives up to the hype \u2014 plus some<\/em>. This \u201cgreat wonder of nature\u201d (President Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s words, not mine) is the largest of Arizona’s national parks<\/a>, is open year-round, and welcomes over 5.5 million visitors each year. The park\u2019s public areas\u2014South Rim and North Rim\u2014 are separated by that feature that\u2019s hard to miss: a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River. Most guests stick to the South Rim for its stunning viewpoints and epic hikes. Can you blame them when the North Rim feels like the home of Night Walkers<\/em>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is Grand Canyon National Park?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, US. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grand Canyon National Park<\/a> lies in the northwestern part of Arizona, about 82 miles and 330 miles north of Flagstaff and Saguaro National Park<\/a> respectively. To the north of the park is Vermilion Cliffs National Monument<\/a> while the southern region is bordered by Kaibab National Forest<\/a>. The park lies close to Arizona\u2019s borders with Utah and Nevada, so accessibility from these contiguous states is easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grand Canyon Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, US. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be clear. Grand Canyon National Park does not encompass the entire Grand Canyon. Most of it, but there’s still plenty left to explore. There\u2019s still some confusion about the age of the Grand Canyon<\/a> (6 million vs 70 million years old), and human beings started interacting with the park about 12,000 years ago. Today, you can only access one cave in the park, so that leaves about 999 unexplored caves in the canyon. Oh, and while you\u2019re here, be most wary of the rocky squirrel<\/a>\u2014 it\u2019s more dangerous than all other wildlife in the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather at the Grand Canyon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, US. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can visit Grand Canyon National Park anytime, but remember that it\u2019s known for its often-extreme weather conditions. Interestingly, where you are in the park will determine the climate you\u2019ll experience. The busiest period in the South Rim is summer, but spring and fall are also good times to visit as the weather conditions at these times are pleasant. The North Rim is only open between May and October (trust me, you don\u2019t want to be in this part of the park at any other time). Winter is the most difficult for tourists with temperatures plummeting as low as 31\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grand Canyon Hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, US. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Access to the South Rim in Grand Canyon National Park is provided to all visitors 24 hours a day throughout the year. You\u2019ll be able to enjoy the majority of the visitor services<\/a> year-round, especially from morning to evening. When the North Rim is open between Mid-May and Mid-October, it\u2019s full-option<\/em> too. Grand Canyon National Park is under limited operations due to COVID-19. For current status and frequent updates, check out the Grand Canyon’s public health update<\/a> page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grand Canyon Entrance Fee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, US. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Entrance to the Grand Canyon is $20 for an individual permit, $30 for a motorcycle permit, and $35 for a vehicle permit \u2013 all valid for seven days. Alternatively, an annual pass that\u2019s valid for twelve months from the date of purchase costs $70 (vehicle and immediate family covered too). Enticing, right? Each permit grants access to the South Rim and North Rim. Digital Entry passes are available at recreation.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to Grand Canyon National Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, US. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drive, take the train<\/a>, or fly<\/a> to Grand Canyon National Park \u2013 it\u2019s up to you, really! All three modes of transportation connect to the South Rim, while the North Rim is only accessible by road. A ninety-minute drive from Flagstaff, located about 82 miles south, will bring you to the park. The South Rim is off Interstate 40 either via State Highway 64 or US Highway 89. If you fancy coming in by air, you can fly to the South Rim Airport from Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Many travelers, when planning their trips to Las Vegas<\/a>, often include a road trip to the Grand Canyon as an additional part of their itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
