Been there once and don't plan on going back. If I go it will be just a pass through to show the kids.

I might do one of the helicopter tours while in Vegas one time, but don't think I will ever plan a trip just to the Grand Canyon.

It's beautiful. And kinda scary! I was able to see a lightening storm pass by it too. Truly breath taking.

I wouldnt mind visiting it myself. It looks to be very beautiful country. I see beauty all the time up here in Alaska, but still would like to see it.

everyone in my family (relatives) has. but I havent. Most say it is trip of a life time to ride a horse down to the botton and camp-out. Aslo heard that as you go down it gets cooler....has any one experence this? My sister use to live in Alaska and we loved going up ther in Aug. to cool off from the Tx heat. She did have a problem with night all day long. How do you like the seasons?  Blueberries were amazing!!

I'm planning on going to the Grand Canyon in the next few days.  I've never been.  I'll be flying into Phoenix.  What information can you give me about it.

What do you know about lodging, transportation etc.  I won't have a car but may rent one if it's more convenient.

I've never been there myself but I hear it's awesome. My cousin's have taken trips there and they say in fact it's one of the most beautiful places they have ever seen in their lives. I hope you enjoy it.

I went to the Grand Canyon with my Dad and brother when I was 14 years old, it was a great trip from Vancouver, Canada to Florida and then back to California (took a whole month). We stopped at the Grand Canyon for a day and did the hike down to the Colorado River, a long hike but well worth it than just looking down from above. Have a great trip.

I have been to the Grand Canyon and I definately recomend that you rent a car because it is a very long walk from Phoneix, AZ to the Grand Canyon.  Actually I would recomend that you take your rental car and drive to Flagstaff, AZ and set up a base camp of operations from there.  I would also include a trip on the Grand Canyon railroad which will give you a chance to learn about the Grand Canyon area.  Also a must is one of the helicopter rides over the Canyon because you just cannot get to some of the areas that the helicopter flys over by car.   Than of course take a tour of the South Rim.  So for sure budget at least three days in the area if not four.

I've never been, but I've always wanted to go. My mother told me it was a sight not to be missed. So it's on my to-do list.
