• Yaki Point: Head east to the Yaki Point, the first marked view point on the East Rim. Get an unobstructed glimpse the east side of Grand Canyon. If you are looking to experience the full splendor of Yaki Point, venture out on the South Kaibab Trail which descends to the Colorado River and Phantom Ranch. Encounter the “Ooh-Aah Point”, a location that is sure to elicit a few exclamations from the most discerning of hikers. Get a gander at Wotan’s Throne and Vishnu Temple, both popular Grand Canyon Sights. (Yaki Point. During peak tourism season, the Yaki Point Road and Kaibab Trail Parking Lot are closed to private vehicle traffic. Access is by shuttle bus only. At Yaki Point, enjoy yet another stunning panoramic view of the Grand Canyon from the south rim.)
• Yavapai Point: This popular lookout point offers views of the North Kaibab and Bright Angel Trails as well. For a closer look into the canyons various Geological delights, there is an array of observation scopes places along the rim. What’s more, the Yavapai Observation Station is loaded with informative tidbits and has a well-stocked bookstore to boot. Some of the best vistas of the inner canyon, the Colorado River, and Bright Angel Canyon are viewed from here. Yavasupai Point is definitely one of the top things to do in Grand Canyon.
• Hikes: 'If someone could only do one short hike at the Canyon, I'd have to suggest the Kaibab Trail to Cedar Ridge (3 miles total roundtrip) or Skeleton Point (6 miles total), or Grandview Trail to the first overlook (about 2.5 miles roundtrip, but a much more rugged trail). These hikes have the most expansive views for a relatively short hike. For someone doing a more ambitious trek, I'd suggest the Bright Angel Trail to Plateau Point (12 miles total). The Bright Angel is less spectacular than the Kaibab in its upper reaches, but for a longer hike it has more diversity and this trek ends at a truly great overlook of the Colorado River. For someone who is an experienced hiker and wanted a taste of the backcountry, I might suggest Grandview to Horseshoe Mesa, which is only 6 miles roundtrip but is fairly intense.'

• try Shoshone Point suggests FlagStuff, the only South Rim overlook generally closed to vehicle access. 'Most of the time you have to walk there, about a 3/4 mile flat and pleasant forest stroll. It's a lovely place, and very peaceful even on the busiest summer day. Not adventurous really, but definitely off the beaten track.'

• 'El Tovar and the Arizona Room offer a memorable atmosphere and passable food at the higher end, but everything else is strictly utilitarian. Flagstaff, and to a much lesser extent Williams, have a full range of good restaurants, but even then fussy big-city epicureans would be wise to tone down their expectations for a few days.' But it's not all bad news on the food front: 'Eating an ice cream cone on the deck behind the Bright Angel Lodge is one of my very favorite things to do at the South Rim.'

• Watching the sunset is a popular activity at the Grand Canyon and the overlooks can fill up on summer evenings. FlagStuff recommends that visitors take the shuttle bus from the Village out on the Hermit's Rest Road, get dropped off at a viewpoint, and then walk the Rim Trail to another viewpoint to catch the bus for a ride back. 'The Rim Trail is a great, easy way to get away from the crowds, and the viewpoints along Hermit Rest Road are superb for sunset.'
• 'I would suggest that people view the sunset from one of the viewpoints, let the gawkers leave, and stay there to take in the subtleties and otherworldly qualities of the Canyon as it slips into darkness,' says eazeliff.
• Bright Angel Lodge in the Arizona Room. Lots of good options for everyone and fantastic views of the canyon while you eat. There are a few shops in old artists studios and even an ice cream shop. All was right in the world!
• The next day we got up early and took the shuttle towards the South Kaibab Trailhead. This is a pretty steep trail with loose dirt and gravel and while it does not have much shade, it has unbeatable views on your quick descent into the canyon. My kids were big troopers and love to hike which helps. Definitely allow lots of time, bring water for everyone and pack a lunch.

• “Meet the Canyon” on a kid-friendly (six and older) South Rim guided hike with the Grand Canyon Field Institute.
• Rent bikes: Hermit Road Greenway Path, and by bike or park shuttle is the only way visitors are allowed to cruise the historic – and incredibly scenic – Hermit Road. rent a bike for as little as an hour or as long as a full day from Bright Angel Bicycles and Café at Mather Point on the South Rim.
• The Grand Canyon Skywalk
• http://www.raftthecanyon.com/
• South Kaibab trail - I think the views are better. But there is no water and no shade. Bright Angel might be a better choice in summer. Either way, get an early start. Depending on your itinerary, I like entering the park through the eastern entrance in the late afternoon. The tower and views are especially pretty in the later afternoon/early evening light. In between hikes and checking out the viewpoints, you can visit the various visitor's centers/exhibits, attend a ranger talk, check out the neat crafts/art at the Hopi House. Drag yourselves out of bed for sunrise at least once.

• Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, Giant Logs Trail -This northeastern Arizona park has the kind of wide-open space that kids sometimes find unexciting. Get them onto park trails, however, and they’re sure to be astonished by close-up looks at enormous “fallen trees”—made of rock. One of the best short hikes for children is the Giant Logs Trail, a 0.4-mile loop that begins at the Rainbow Forest Museum, the park’s southern visitor center. This path leads to the largest log in the park: Old Faithful, around 170 feet long and more than 9 feet across at its base. Here, kids can see (and feel) how ancient tree trunks were permeated by water carrying dissolved silica, which crystallized as quartz, exactly replacing the soft plant structure with hard mineral. They’ll see bark, knotholes, and growth rings, all in amazingly fine detail. Every color imaginable seems to be represented in the shiny agate logs. Interpretive panels along the way explain the science behind the petrified logs. The Rainbow Forest Museum includes exhibits on dinosaurs, always popular with kids.

Kanab: Paria mountains off highway 89. Beautiful colorful mountains.
