Experience The Majesty

Seeing the sunrise or viewing the enormous expanse of the Grand Canyon at sunset are Bucket List experiences and there is no better place than the South Rim to experience this majesty. The Grand Canyon is over 200 miles long and it is 11 miles wide at the South Rim.

The mighty Colorado River flows through the Inner Gorge over a mile below the South Rim viewpoints…no other place on earth rivals these views.

There are so many things you can do at the South Rim. From camping to beautiful hotels the South Rim has it all. Take an airtour, bike, hike, walk the rim on the Greenway Trail, hike below the rim, take in a Park Service Ranger Program, take a jeep tour, bus tour or take a mule or horseback ride. You can even skydive with a view of the canyon…only at the South Rim!

The Most Visited Attraction In Arizona.
The South Rim of the Grand Canyon attracts over 5 million visitors each year and by far is the most visited side of the Canyon. That’s because it is the most accessible and provides the most amenities. As with all sides of the Canyon, the South Rim features astounding views of what took Mother Nature millions and millions of years to create. That why it has earned the distinction as one of the world’s Seven Wonders.
