Of all the natural wonders in this country, none are more impressive than the Grand Canyon. For decades, it has been a destination of choice for American families and visitors from around the world who want to see one of the most spectacular views this planet has to offer. If you're planning a Grand Canyon tour, here are some tips to help make your visit unforgettable.

How to Improve Your Grand Canyon Trip

1. Research

Start planning well in advance of the trip. Think about the weather you'll encounter, and the size of the crowds. Summer is the most popular time, and it can get hot and dusty. In winter, snow may make sightseeing more difficult or uncomfortable, but there are fewer crowds. Spring and fall mean both mild weather and moderate crowds.

2. Pack Correctly

You're going to be out in the open and doing a lot of hiking, so prepare for the day. Pack water, sunscreen, snacks or a picnic meal, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses. Also wear comfortable shoes with good grip on their soles.

3. Transportation

If you're interested in seeing the South Rim, use the provided shuttle buses to get there. In fact, for much of the year, they're the only options. Keep an eye on the bus schedule so you can plan your day accordingly.

4. Visitors Center

The Grand Canyon's Visitors Center has more than just souvenirs and plaques of tourist information. The park rangers can also help you find the best sights and landmarks to visit on your Grand Canyon tour. Of course, you can also pick up a memento while you’re there as well. 

5. Plan a Guided Tour

Professional Grand Canyon tour options include bus tours, hikes on foot, and even mule rides. Your tour guide will be able to tell you all about the area and answer your questions—as well as take you to some of the most beautiful sightseeing spots.
