8 Reasons to Visit the Grand Canyon
5. Sunrise and Sunset
Get two of nature’s most spectacular displays and show every day at the same place. Both the sunrise and sunset are amazing with brilliant colors. The reds, crimsons, yellows and oranges of the sun and the canyons just blind you with their brilliance.
6. Wildflowers
Brown is not the only predominant color of the canyons. The wildflowers completely change the area when in bloom. The approximately 650 types of wildflowers found in the Grand Canyon National Park carpet the area with their many colors and throughout spring and summer, lots of pretty flowers are in bloom—including yellow ragweed, pink toadflax, red Indian paintbrush and purple Rocky Mountain iris.
7. Waterfalls
Apart from the mighty Colorado River, there are also many small and big falls that can be seen throughout the Grand Canyon. The Ribbon falls and the Huvasu falls are two of the biggest and most popular falls in the region.
8. Helicopter ride
The ride gives you some of the most spectacular views you could possibly see in your lifetime. From the top, hovering hundreds of feet over the canyon and the river you can see millions of years of history and history still in the making as the river and the winds constantly change the shape of the Grand Canyon.
It is just impossible to leave the place unimpressed.
