It can be very busy at the Grand Canyon

Another view of the canyon. This is not actually a warning, but more of a tip. It is very busy with tourists along the rim. Part of the rim is closed for cars and the only way to get here is by bus or hiking. The bus runs very regularly and stops at all the viewpoints. But I really would get out of that bus and walk along the rim if I were you. You get rid of most of the tourists that way and have a beautiful view on the canyon. I didn’t make a hike into the rim. This is also possible, but that is not something you should do in a few lost hours.

I think the best is to try and go here off season, I was here at the end of May, and it was already very busy. The hotel accomodations are all booked well in advance at the rim, so make sure to make reservations very early. I booked my hotel half a year before and it was already hard to get a spot.
