After lunch and souvenir shopping at the Grand Canyon National Geographic Visitor Center, head to the South Rim of the Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park for some exploration time. Visit Bright Angel Lodge, a historic Grand Canyon South Rim hotel, and Mather Point, home to the most popular Grand Canyon overlook and hiking trails that line the canyon’s edge. See the Grand Canyon’s widest and deepest point, which is over 8,400 feet deep and 21 miles across.
An IMAX experience that includes “Grand Canyon Discovery and Adventure,” the most-watched film in IMAX history, and/or an educational and breathtakingly beautiful Jeep tour along the canyon’s rim are both available.
