My grandparents drove out to the Grand Canyon from NC.
They stayed 10 minutes then turned around and drove home. Not very impressed.
I’ve never been.
Oh it’s beautiful. You want to see it in early morning, late afernoon when the shadows are beautiful. North shore is wonderful. I hear a hike down is amazing. The lodge there is old and wonderful. I would not go in summer.
It is certainly worth seeing! We went a few years back, and got a cabin right on the south rim for 2 nights. It ranks up in the top handful of memories in my life.
We took a bus tour of the south rim area, and also stayed in Flagstaff, and wish we had planned for longer, to see Sedona area.
Save yourself the trouble and go to Bryce Canyon in Utah instead.
I found that to be far more scenic, and impressive.
“Not very impressed.”
Got it. Well, read a book about the Grand Canyon and then go visit again. It is a cathedral built by God the Father to show off His skills. There are hundreds of canyons in the world but nothing compares to the Grand Canyon. Grand, it is. Hikers should read a book about the Grand Canyon, too, since it is brutal in the summer and winter.
Sounds like you are looking for an excuse not to go,good more room for the rest of us
