Greenway Trail
Visitors who have not recently visited the Grand Canyon will love the newly paved Greenway Trail! The new Greenway Trail, located between The Abyss and Hermit Rest, provides a bicycle path away from the main road. Enjoy a relaxing bike ride with family and friends, or go explore the trail’s beauty on your own!
New Winter Schedule for Hermit’s Rest
Previously private to the public, you are now able to drive your vehicle along Hermit’s Rest! This is applicable for the winter season, until February 29th, 2012. Stop at the various view points along Hermit’s Rest and enjoy spectacular views from the comfort of your own car.
Mather Point
There is new parking available inside the park at the visitor’s center at Mather Point. Mather Point is the number one viewpoint for tourists, as it is closest to the entrance station and a short walk from the newly opened visitor center, Canyon View Plaza.
Junior Ranger Program
The Grand Canyon National Park Service has created a Junior Ranger Program for children 4-14. By completing certain requirements, children can be sworn in as a Grand Canyon National Park Junior Ranger. They even receive a badge and certificate! Pick up your Junior Ranger magazine when you get to the park and complete the requirements listed. More Information
Grand Canyon Dinner Theatre & Steakhouse
The dinner that comes with the show is bountiful, served family-style with a great range of entrées and bowls and platters of side dishes delivered to every table. The wait staff are decked out in period costume with the waitresses wearing Harvey Girl style uniforms.
