Its immense size and striking layers of red, orange, and gold rock formations make it one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. Visitors can explore the canyon’s beauty from various vantage points along the South Rim, including Mather Point and the Desert View Watchtower. For a more immersive experience, adventurous visitors can hike into the canyon or take a mule ride to the Colorado River. Watching the sunrise or sunset over the Grand Canyon is an unforgettable experience, as the changing light creates a kaleidoscope of colors across the canyon walls.
