The Grand Canyon is not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer,so
it is an excellent holiday resort. the South Rim fo the Canyon is open all
the year but the North Rim is closed from October to April. There are
a lot of tourists in summer,but the best time for a visit is in autumn.Tourists
who haven´t got much time can drive from Grand Canyon Village to
Desert View. The trip is only 25 miles so it is a very interesting trip. Most
people stop at Yavapai Point because it has a lot of attractions, including
a museum. At Desert View there is a watchtower that offers a magnificent
view of the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert. You can also visit the
Canyon by mule. There are three different trips that go down into the Canyon
every day. The descent is a fantastic experience because you can see the most
spectacular aspects of the Canyon´s geology.
