Grand Canyon National Park. One of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon became an official national park in 1919. To describe its amazing scenery is nearly impossible. Nearly four million people worldwide come each year to gaze in awe at the impossibly steep cliffs, mind-blowing chasms and rushing rapids. Grand Canyon National Park extends its sublime splendor more than 200 miles across the deserts of Northern Arizona. Its North Rim is not far from Zion National Park, Lake Powell and Bryce Canyon National Park. Best of all, the North Rim is only a two hour drive from the La Quinta inn & Suites in St. George. It's perfect for day-trip outing.

Grand Canyon National Park Destinations. The Grand Canyon's North Rim and South Rim are both popular with tourists. Though the North Rim is much less congested-about 400,000 annual visitors compared to the South Rim’s 3.5 million-it’s actually 1,000 to 1,500 feet higher. This affords those select few incredible vistas from several easily accessible spots, such as Cape Royal (7,685 feet), Point Imperial (8,803 feet) and Bright Angel Point (8,255 feet), which is also where you’ll find the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and North Rim Visitor Center. Both rims offer exceptional hiking, great photo ops and ranger programs. For more information, visit www.utah.com/nationalparks/grandcanyon.htm   [Top]
