Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- Everything you need to know before you go to the Grand Canyon National Park. The Grand Canyon is the 2nd most visited National Park with nearly 5 million visitors per year. It's a sprawling 1,218-square-mile natural wonder in Arizona, carved by the mighty Colorado River over millions of years. The canyon itself is a mile deep and up to 18 miles wide, offering breathtaking vistas and a glimpse into millions of years of geological history. Most people think of the Grand Canyon as a desert, but it’s actually a forest! It’s set at an elevation of 7,000 feet and it’s home to tons of greenery and wildlife too. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a casual sightseeing enthusiast, the Grand Canyon National Park has something to offer everyone… but there’s so much more to do than just hiking and views that we’ll talk about in Things to do.

Seems like I already visited the grand canyon with this video!
I swear these videos get better and better each time
Awwww
Super helpful, thank you so, so much!
I always end up watching your videos when i plan a trip. I literally just booked my airbnb in AZ then opened CZcams and saw this video. the timing is perfect 😂
Right on!
Omg!! This video jammed packed with info. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
YOu are a wealth of information. You are becoming my go-to for learning about how to visit an area.
Wow, thank you Kathy!
Thanks for the tips + info + video!
Thanks Jimmy!
Absolutely high quality content, Chris! This video really help me plan for my upcoming trip to the canyon in June 😊 A big thank you for putting in the work and sharing this video with the world.
Hi Chris. Great review and thank you for sharing. 🤗
Thanks CW!
Great video as always Chris 👍🏻
We’ve only been there once and we did the Helicopter tour out of Boulder City, landing in the bottom of the canyon for a nice champagne breakfast. A bit fancy I know but I wanted to surprise Wifey and spoil her 😘
Ooooh.. fancy!
Great video thanks 😊
Thanks Jonathan!
hi Chris, I was just there last month, love getting memories of my trip come up by watching your video. Also for people who would like to visit during low season, February is a good month to go, just know there is snow on the trail so you have to be prepared and some roads are closed.
Wow ! Great video, loads of excellent information, beautiful views. Really enjoyed watching it. Thanks Chris
Thanks Colleen!
Great video. Very informative and helpful for planning.
Thanks Janice!
Your vids have definitely improved over the years! Love the editing, the vid quality, and the visual graphics. Nicely done!!
Thanks bnap!
Great video thank you for all the informations. I will watch next the zion national park.
Glad it was helpful!
Don't miss the Stargazing in the Grand Canyon! If you drive into the park and can drive away from the Villages by heading east or west there is some amazing star gazing at night. Easier to do in the winter and early spring times for sure but very much worth it. My wife and I did it during the Valentine weekend and it was truly an amazing experience near the Hermits Rest.
Thanks for the tip!
This is such an in depth video ! I’ve been to the Grand Canyon for a day trip, and I had no idea about all these other things that you can do while you were there! Thanks for taking the time for making this. I’m sure it took a lot of time and effort.🎉
Thanks Janelle! That was definitely my goal! So many people go for a day trip and don't get to see all the other stuff
This was really very well done and sensible and helpful for travelers. I am going in September and have saved this to reference before I go. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Diane! Thanks!
I need to go back one day to check out some of these trails! I went there a few years ago one October when I drove out to Utah and Arizona, and I only had a few hours there as I was going to Sedona. I think all I did was walk the rim trail along the South Rim. The views were quite amazing when I went!
It's definitely time for a revisit with some more exploration time 😀
My grandmother has always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, and me too (don't worry, we're both fit). I'm really taking some notes here, this is a trip we'll be doing... probably by next year if all goes as planned. I wish there were more travel channels doing what you do; amazing stuff as always!
New subscribers here! Thank you for sharing Chris❤️❤️❤️
been watching your videos this past weeks.. will be going to LA this April. And planning to go to Grand Canyon also. Keep up the good work!
Cheers from Japan
Awesome! Welcome to Yellow Productions and I hope you have a great trip!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 love it
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great, thorough video, much more information than others I’ve viewed. Thank you, we are planning to visit this July, hot summer !!
Thanks so much Vilma!
Thanks Chris. I've been there twice.
Sweet!
Hi Chris. Thanks for the wonderful info. The train ride from Williams would be a very convenient way to visit the Grand Canyon. I would love to take the mule ride to the bottom and stay in one of those cabin. I think that would be a cool experience. Take care.
Thanks James!
The only tips is have are-
There’s a lot of people at peak time so get there early . Don’t hang around others.
It’s hot and you’re at an altitude. You get tired sooner and it’s the desert! Bring lots of water and don’t walk too far. If you’re not keeping up in terms of walking time just turn back. Don’t risk it. Nobody is carrying you back. Well maybe. But you’re going to get the bill.
Great tips mocrg
Amazing scenery of one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Not sure I could make the walk down, Chris, let alone up. I like the idea of a mule to take me though. They look pretty hardy. Wish I could see it. Thanks again.
Yeah. The mule ride does sound like fun 😁
Thanks Chris.
i’m actually surprised there’s this much to do there 😨 always under the impression you show up, take a pic 🤣 and keep it pushing
Thanks Kamren! Yeah. I had a good 3 days here and wasn't bored
This Is A Good Man TY Sir Mam Guy Win IMO
Thanks so much!
I have been to both rims and I prefer the North Rim. The views and trails are spectacular and the crowds aren’t near as bad.
Thanks for the report on the North Rim
Hi . I enjoy your videos , do you have one about Lake Tahoe ???please ?
Not yet Juliet
💛💛💛
As always, more one video with all the information. I only had one doubt: Why haven't I gone there yet?
Thanks Gilberto! Now you've got a place to visit on your next trip to the USA 😀
Grandpa Richard wants to do everything the Brady Bunch did when they visited the Grand Canyon
I was worried after this video because I only reserved two days for the Grand Canyon😢 I’ll need more
Is the $80 annual pass per car or per person? My husband and I are visiting 3 national parks next year so I just wanted to know which would be best
The pass is issued to a person. But it gets the whole car load of people in
Legal.. 😎
Chris did you get a chance to take the traveling princess to the Polar Express since you went during the holidays? (Or maybe it's in Williams, AZ). I apologize if it was mentioned, I didn't get a chance to watch the entire video this morning.
Negative.. we didn't ride the Polar express. Will have to do that next time :)
Last minute Grand Canyon trip. I’m from Chicago visiting Scottsdale and taking a day trip to GC
So overwhelmed
Whats the popular trail with rails called? Have kids with me so don’t want anything to strenuous. Thank you
Not sure about a trail with rails.. but the rim trail is a paved trail that is nearly flat and just goes along the canyon edge. That's what I'd do if you just want to admire some views
Do you have a Grand Canyon 3-Day itinerary recommendations??
Check out my full trip vlog. You can see what I did in 3 days: czcams.com/video/tu7uLSBPxCc/video.html
@L3WGReacts this explains everything you were confused about in the last video
Also, I stayed at the Maswik and I can tell you it is a good hotel, the bed was good and the rooms were updated, I saw some reviews where people complained about the rooms of the hotels near the rim, where the beds were old and the rooms were not good, so please everybody check out a lot of reviews prior to booking.
Thanks for the tip on the Maswik!
@ 0:28 ...it is ludicrous to believe that the Colorado river carved a canyon 18 miles wide and a mile deep in places.
What is the best gps app to use going to grand canyon?
I used Google Maps after downloading the offline maps
Lol @ international drivers doing weird stuff 😅😂😂. Ill probably go in early winter.
Hello, I have 3 tickets for "the Sphere" for March 18th, but I had to postpone my vacation and can't sell the tickets because I don't have a US tax number. In short, I would like to give you these 3 tickets. What are you saying? Thank you, LG André from Munich
Thanks Strathmania -- Although I make a ton of videos on Vegas I live in California about a 4 hour drive away so we wouldn't be able to use them this weekend.. I do appreciate the offer though
Great National Park videos. Remember veterans get in all national parks for free. The rangers will give vets a special card you show with your driver's license.
Thanks for the tip!
I’m truly sorry to say that the native tribes have turned the Grand Canyon West into an all around ugly commercial experience for all of us. Don’t waste your time and money on visiting the Grand Canyon West.
An excellent and highly informative presentation as always, Chris.
The buses are accessible by scooters??😅❤??
I'm visiting for navo tacos
That sing was definitely orange
Maybe I just see the world with yellow colored glasses 😀
Can you drive in a motor home?
Yes. There are RV campgrounds. So you've gotta be able to drive it in
We did the glass sidewalk. Complete waste of money. They won't let you take your phone out and take pictures. They will only sell you pictures. They don't tell you that till after you spend a lot of money
The Disneyland of the Grand Canyon
Wow!! Good to know.
How much did you have to pay for a permit to film commercially in the Grand Canyon? Is it different than other national parks and how long does it take to get it? Dumbest law ever.
Went there in 2017. Found it pretty boring.
Not true on my he airports many closer than flagstaff and if your talking only international then you have bullhead city/ Laughlin which is international and way closer for smaller ones you have kingman havasu and even McCarran Las Vegas would be closer than flagstaff and I have to look it up but I never heard flagstaff as an international one
Flagstaff is the closest for commercial flights to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. It's way way closer than McCarran
hey chris I got confused I keep thinking of the west but still you are wrong bc kingman for sure has comercials flights and they have united I know bc my daughter works for united but to the rim you are talking about which ive been to also from las vegas then maybe flagstaff is closer i still find i very hard to belive its so out there also so cold and nasty and like 3 hours from kingman etc but im interested in the grand canyon west I keep forgetting your only talking about the main one where all the busses go to which is way better than driing yoursself and paying 35 dollars anyway thank you!! @@YellowProductions
