New subbie here! We are in Grand Cannon Natl Park as I write this comment, great tips!! Definitely beginners, but the rim trail is accessible and paved almost the entire way. Walk out under Lookout in the village is a safe, easy stairs to get below the rim shots. Tomorrow morning we will attempt 5 min walk down Bright Angel to the first carved arch, I think it’ll be a great experience and even if it is slow going back up, feeling confident we can manage 10 minute walk uphill ☺️
This is such an in depth video ! I’ve been to the Grand Canyon for a day trip, and I had no idea about all these other things that you can do while you were there! Thanks for taking the time for making this. I’m sure it took a lot of time and effort.🎉
My grandmother has always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, and me too (don't worry, we're both fit). I'm really taking some notes here, this is a trip we'll be doing... probably by next year if all goes as planned. I wish there were more travel channels doing what you do; amazing stuff as always!
I need to go back one day to check out some of these trails! I went there a few years ago one October when I drove out to Utah and Arizona, and I only had a few hours there as I was going to Sedona. I think all I did was walk the rim trail along the South Rim. The views were quite amazing when I went!
thank you for the detailed information giving us much comparison with each rim and point or Origin (Phoenix or Vegas)..We haven't. been to Vegas in 10 years, and we skipped Grand Canyon as we dont know which route to take, but we're going to West this time, as most convenient and shortest travel time, which is our preference..Appreciate It much.... more power to your channel.
Don't miss the Stargazing in the Grand Canyon! If you drive into the park and can drive away from the Villages by heading east or west there is some amazing star gazing at night. Easier to do in the winter and early spring times for sure but very much worth it. My wife and I did it during the Valentine weekend and it was truly an amazing experience near the Hermits Rest.
Absolutely high quality content, Chris! This video really help me plan for my upcoming trip to the canyon in June 😊 A big thank you for putting in the work and sharing this video with the world.
hi Chris, I was just there last month, love getting memories of my trip come up by watching your video. Also for people who would like to visit during low season, February is a good month to go, just know there is snow on the trail so you have to be prepared and some roads are closed.
Great video as always Chris 👍🏻 We’ve only been there once and we did the Helicopter tour out of Boulder City, landing in the bottom of the canyon for a nice champagne breakfast. A bit fancy I know but I wanted to surprise Wifey and spoil her 😘
This was really very well done and sensible and helpful for travelers. I am going in September and have saved this to reference before I go. Thank you.
The only tips is have are- There’s a lot of people at peak time so get there early . Don’t hang around others. It’s hot and you’re at an altitude. You get tired sooner and it’s the desert! Bring lots of water and don’t walk too far. If you’re not keeping up in terms of walking time just turn back. Don’t risk it. Nobody is carrying you back. Well maybe. But you’re going to get the bill.
New subscribers here! Thank you for sharing Chris❤️❤️❤️ been watching your videos this past weeks.. will be going to LA this April. And planning to go to Grand Canyon also. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Japan
Amazing scenery of one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Not sure I could make the walk down, Chris, let alone up. I like the idea of a mule to take me though. They look pretty hardy. Wish I could see it. Thanks again.
Great National Park videos. Remember veterans get in all national parks for free. The rangers will give vets a special card you show with your driver's license.
Also, I stayed at the Maswik and I can tell you it is a good hotel, the bed was good and the rooms were updated, I saw some reviews where people complained about the rooms of the hotels near the rim, where the beds were old and the rooms were not good, so please everybody check out a lot of reviews prior to booking.
Last minute Grand Canyon trip. I’m from Chicago visiting Scottsdale and taking a day trip to GC So overwhelmed Whats the popular trail with rails called? Have kids with me so don’t want anything to strenuous. Thank you
Not sure about a trail with rails.. but the rim trail is a paved trail that is nearly flat and just goes along the canyon edge. That's what I'd do if you just want to admire some views
I recorded this in December. Right after Christmas. You can watch my full vlog of the trip here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tu7uLSBPxCc.htmlsi=3e-PASdj2gnC62u0
Chris did you get a chance to take the traveling princess to the Polar Express since you went during the holidays? (Or maybe it's in Williams, AZ). I apologize if it was mentioned, I didn't get a chance to watch the entire video this morning.
I always end up watching your videos when i plan a trip. I literally just booked my airbnb in AZ then opened RU-vid and saw this video. the timing is perfect 😂
I’m truly sorry to say that the native tribes have turned the Grand Canyon West into an all around ugly commercial experience for all of us. Don’t waste your time and money on visiting the Grand Canyon West. An excellent and highly informative presentation as always, Chris.
Hello, I have 3 tickets for "the Sphere" for March 18th, but I had to postpone my vacation and can't sell the tickets because I don't have a US tax number. In short, I would like to give you these 3 tickets. What are you saying? Thank you, LG André from Munich
Thanks Strathmania -- Although I make a ton of videos on Vegas I live in California about a 4 hour drive away so we wouldn't be able to use them this weekend.. I do appreciate the offer though
We did the glass sidewalk. Complete waste of money. They won't let you take your phone out and take pictures. They will only sell you pictures. They don't tell you that till after you spend a lot of money
Thank you for your video. Grand Canyon is a great place to visit. I would like to respectfully disagree with you on what to me is an important point. You have no doubt been told your whole life the earth is millions or billions of years old. I believe the earth is actually about 10,000 years old. When I saw the Grand Canyon, I immediately thought of what the Bible says about the Flood of Noah's Day in Genesis. The Bible says all the fountains of the great deep burst open. When I saw the Grand Canyon, I saw one place where this happened. It was an inspiration to me and a confirmation of Scripture. Please honestly consider my views. All the best to you.
A little history, before 1848 the Grand Canyon was from Mexico, as well as all of Arizona, California, Utah, New Mexico and Texas, unfortunately you live in a country with an imperialist, consumerist, stealing system and all its "wealth" It has achieved this through military interventionism, but economic dominance works better for them, which is why the gringo economic model has no friends, it has $$$$ interests, and the Grand Canyon is no exception, it has created a whole marketing for rich people, instead of the natural park that belonged to us in Mexico being free
you’re not wrong. but Mexico for 300 years until 1821 was part of colonialist Spain, let’s not pretend they were any better. the truth is no one owns ANY land. the indigenous people were stewards of the land as we should all be. land ownership by any person or nation is inherently theft.
How much did you have to pay for a permit to film commercially in the Grand Canyon? Is it different than other national parks and how long does it take to get it? Dumbest law ever.
Planning a trip with my wife on in the first days of August. Never been there before. We understand this is not the best time because of the heat, but can’t come later. We want to rent a camper van and stay there for 1-2 nights. Thank you for the video! Very informative, useful and not boring to watch 😅
Hi Chris. Thanks for the wonderful info. The train ride from Williams would be a very convenient way to visit the Grand Canyon. I would love to take the mule ride to the bottom and stay in one of those cabin. I think that would be a cool experience. Take care.
Not true on my he airports many closer than flagstaff and if your talking only international then you have bullhead city/ Laughlin which is international and way closer for smaller ones you have kingman havasu and even McCarran Las Vegas would be closer than flagstaff and I have to look it up but I never heard flagstaff as an international one
hey chris I got confused I keep thinking of the west but still you are wrong bc kingman for sure has comercials flights and they have united I know bc my daughter works for united but to the rim you are talking about which ive been to also from las vegas then maybe flagstaff is closer i still find i very hard to belive its so out there also so cold and nasty and like 3 hours from kingman etc but im interested in the grand canyon west I keep forgetting your only talking about the main one where all the busses go to which is way better than driing yoursself and paying 35 dollars anyway thank you!! @@YellowProductions
