Explore the mile-deep canyon, its rocky pinnacles and cliff faces changing colour with the sun, on Grand Canyon holidays.

Carved into the rocks by the Colorado River, the spectacular Grand Canyon cuts a 250-mile-long swathe through the Southwest American state of Arizona. Visitors to this iconic natural wonder come by car or aboard the vintage Grand Canyon Railway, which still chugs its way through the sparse Arizona desert to the national park as it has since 1901.
 

Best of Grand Canyon holidays for...

  • Grown-up families: Test your bravery - and feel your palms sweat - at the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass footbridge suspended 4000 feet above the canyon floor.
  • Active types: See the Grand Canyon from the bottom up, rushing along the churning Colorado River aboard exhilarating whitewater rafting trips.
  • Romance: Watch the sunset turn the canyon from shades of brown and red to brilliant orange and purple, then enjoy a canopy of stars at a canyon floor campsite.
