12 days in Grand Canyon National Park Itinerary

The size, shape, and color of Grand Canyon National Park combine to leave an impression on visitors as deep as the canyon itself.

Visiting Grand Canyon South Rim and South Kaibab Trail will get you outdoors. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Navajo Point and East Rim Drive. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Grand Canyon National Park: Supai (Mooney Falls & Havasupai Falls), Marble Canyon (Vermillion Cliffs Scenic Highway & River Rafting & Tubing) and Kaibab National Forest (in Jacob Lake). On the 31st (Tue), hike the day away at Bright Angel Trail. Next up on the itinerary: trek along North Kaibab Trail, admire all the interesting features of Point Imperial Drive, see the interesting displays at Kolb Studio, and take some stellar pictures from Yaki Point.

In July in Grand Canyon National Park, expect temperatures between 84°F during the day and 52°F at night. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 10th (Fri) so you can travel back home.
