Grand canyon

It is hard to explain why Grand canyon is so amazing unless you be there. Mountain is something which amazes me all the time and Grand canyon with its color made me speech less. Here is something I need to share that I learned from my mistakes of Grand canyon trip.

1. Plan for at least seven days, this is so amazing place it is hard to see everything in short period of time. If you are planning for less than that all you can do is some photo session. If "be there, done that" is you intention then probably you can finish it up by few hours. But my recommendation is plan for at least seven days, find a quite place and try to feel the color and vastness of this awful mother nature's creation.

2. Don't make any arrangement to stay in a hotel. Staying at hotel is waste of money and time. You have to travel a lot back and forth. Make an arrangement for camping and that's the way you can enjoy the grand creation. And of course make some plan for hiking, Grand canyon trip without hiking is incomplete. Find a camping place near the Colorado river and spend some time. The quieter the place the better it would be. If you are in a group fix time to be alone.

3. Renting is a car is not a good option but I don't know about good public transportation. But surely if you rent a car left it somewhere before the camping. Grand canyon national park has some arrangements for parking and they are often very full. I recommend public transportation (if you have any).

4. Try to visit as many places as you can by walking (hiking). Do not drive, it is waste of your time. It is around 110F during summer with extremely low humid, so carry as much water as you can. Following the trails for hiking is a safe option but if you are little bit adventurous, you can do more than that.

5. It is really difficult to find food in Grand canyon area, so make some arrangement about the food beforehand. I would recommend light foods but you can carry some heavy meals and waste as less as possible time for food.

6. Skywalk is one of a kind engineering work, if you can appreciate its extreme engineering make a plan to visit there. If you have acrophobia then surely you would enjoy Skywalk. Either you have to have acrophobia or you have to have some knowledge about engineering to appreciate Skywalk otherwise it is a complete waste of money for you.

7. Finally try to avoid crowd. Scenic and crowd does not go together. I would recommend going to Grand canyon all alone and be there all alone is the best option.

I hope I covered all you need to know before you plan for Grand canyon. It's a one of a kind place and be there before your end. It is perfectly capable of changing your perspective.
