8 Incredible Ways to Experience the Majesty of the Grand Canyon

Havasu Falls

Within the tribal lands of the Havasupai Indians are a few different waterfalls, but one of the most picturesque is Havasu Falls, a breathtaking turquoise waterfall. During the early summer and fall months, the water is warm enough for swimming and cliff diving. However, because it’s on protected land, reservations are required for a one-night minimum stay at the tribal campground.

Demand is extremely high due to the Instagram-worthy beauty of the falls and its functionality as a swimming spot, so it’s best to plan this aspect of your Grand Canyon trip at least a year in advance.

Grand Canyon Skywalk

Looking straight down into the Grand Canyon used to be a death wish, but that all changed in 2007 with the construction of Skywalk at Eagle Point. Extending 70-feet from the edge of the canyon, a U-shaped glass walkway allows visitors to enjoy panoramic views of the Grand Canyon, while also observing it below them.

With the addition of the Skywalk, the surrounding area has become a popular tourist attraction with multiple dining options, a gift shop, a Native American Village and an amphitheater where tribal dances are performed.
