Our tour took us to the south rim of the canyon, as it was January,
and the north rim was covered in 14 inches of snow. I can only
describe it the best way I know how. I wish I was a poet, because
then I could give it justice. But anyway, the color was astounding.
Not really orange, not really red, not really tan. No picture that I
took could acurately represent what it really looked like. The
majesty of it all was really what strikes you. To think that eons and
eons of water and weather created this overwhealming natural wonder.

There were two "stop-overs" along the path. Cabins with pictures and
gift shops (of course) and lookout spots. But I recommend just
walking along the paths, taking your own sweet time and going your
own way. CAUTION - you really can fall over the edge. They're not
kidding. Be careful when you're trying to get as close to the edge to
get that great photo. But that's gonna be the best photo you get. :)

Also, take a look out of the scopes to look down into the Canyon. You
can see the trails, campers, etc. There is one hotel at the bottom of
the canyon. We were told there are only two choices for meals while
you're there. Steak and steak. Ha.

The tour I was on was just the Canyon Rim tour. I was only there for
a couple of hours. However, they told us about the 1-day and the
3-day tours. The one day tour is a 4-hour burro ride to the bottom of
the canyon, a rest, and then a 4-hour ride back. The other tour is a
ride from the south rim, to the north rim, and back. With a stay-over
at the hotel. We got to mingle with the burros that do these little
trips. They're bred to make these treks to the bottom of the Canyon.
They could literally do it with their eyes closed. There is a weight
limit to do this, and you can't do the rim-to-rim tour except in the
summer, because the north rim is closed in the winter.

In closing, I just can't describe the actual experience to you.
You'll have to see it for yourself.
