National Parks in the USA to visit – and with good reason, it’s breathtaking. Totally iconic and vast, there’s a heap of the best things to do in the Grand Canyon that are dotted all around the park. Plus, along with the Hualapai Indian Reservation, Kaibab National Forest and the Vermilion Cliffs, it’s the kind of place you can spend months exploring.
Perched within the Havasupai Indian Reservation, Havasu Canyon is stunning to visit. Within the much quieter area of the North Rim, Toroweap Overlook is stunning to visit, especially for the views across the Colorado River.
Best of all, any trip to explore the Grand Canyon can be partnered with a gander around wider Arizona or heading to the bright lights of Las Vegas. Whatever the case, and wherever you choose to visit, make sure to give yourself ample time to visit all around the park itself.
