The Grand Canyon is the best place to be for outdoor enthusiasts. It offers the best experience in hiking, camping, rafting, sight seeing, and wildlife tours in the Grand Canyon National Park. It stretches from Colorado into the Northern most part of Arizona. One of my favorite activities here is the tour to the Out of Africa Wildlife Park where you get to see and take pictures of beautiful, exotic animals. With the guidance of a Park caretaker, you even get a chance to hold snakes and wrap them up your neck! Hikes and Treks are also popular in the Grand Canyon. My favorite trail to hike is the Grandview Trail; one of the best of the non-maintained trails. My Reef sandals are okay to use in this trail since doesn’t really have difficult sections. Another attraction here is the Grand Canyon Skywalk; a cantilever shaped glass walkway to suspend more than 4,000 feet above the canyon’s floor that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Grand Canyon.

The Grand Canyon offers flexible options for accommodations and lodging based on your budget and preferences. You can choose from luxurious hotels to rustic cabins, cottages, bed and breakfasts and inns. However, accommodations should be booked at least a couple of months before your trip. Grand Canyon caters different dining options like cafes, steak houses, pizza and burgers and fine restaurants. My personal favorite is Rod’s Steak House where I had the best steak of my life! Rod’s special steak is a hefty sirloin dipped in sugar and grilled over mesquite.

With great activities, good food, and comfortable accommodations, the Grand Canyon definitely offers one of the best outdoors get away.
