Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

The creme de la creme, the bee’s knees, one of seven world wonders, THE Grand Canyon! Perhaps the most poetically waxed about place in the world, Grand Canyon National Park is a place you seriously just have to see for yourself. Quieter North Rim, hoppin’ South Rim, just pick one and go! Hike trails like Tuweep that will leave you breathless, catch canyon mornings where the fog settles in, or raft the raging Colorado for an epic canyon floor view. And let’s not forget the history! Discover the Kolb Brother’s photo studio or cozy up in the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. Mule trips, native culture, and the “on the come up” Condors will leave you thirsty for more. Visit this mecca and visit it often, for there are a million kinds of ways to sink your teeth into this truly one of a kind place. Teddy Roosevelt said the Grand Canyon left him in “awe” and you’ll know just what he felt when you step to the rim for the very first time.
