Monastery in Spili

The Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular places to visit in the United States. Located in Arizona, its landscape is characterized by its immense size, 2 billion years of erosion and many colorful rock formations. It's a must see for all kinds of travelers, with over 5 million people visiting each year. While its best known overlooks are along the South Rim, the less-visited North Rim is also well worth your time. There are plenty of hikes to choose from, some of the most popular being Bright Angel Trail, Rim Trail, and Grandview Trail. It's also possible to take a mule ride down to the canyon floor, or take a boat tour along the Colorado River. Whether you're looking for adventure or simply breathtaking views, the Grand Canyon can offer you both.
