😆The United States, a country with many unparalleled beauties, no matter how many times you go, it's never enough! For those who are going on a self-driving tour in the United States, don't miss this spot, the Grand Canyon National Park.

😋The South Rim is the most visited route by tourists, and its self-driving road is also quite well built, often allowing for a deeper exploration.

Hiking In Grand Canyon South Rim
#gohiking
Grand Canyon South Rim is the ideal choice for a first visit to the Grand Canyon because it offers the most expansive views and the easiest scenic trail.
I did the Rim Trial as it the easiest trail with almost no elevation change and with breathtaking views of the canyon from above. It is also because one of the shuttle routes runs along this trail, and several shuttle stops are located at different points along the Rim Trail .
The Trail start from the Grand Canyon village and ends at Hermit Rest, but you can begin and end it at any of the shuttle stops. You can also hike the trail all the way to Hermits Rest, then get back to the trailhead by the shuttle bus.
This trail is highly recommended for everyone given it level of difficulty is low .

Grand Canyon South Rim - another perspective
Another spot I have visited multiple times.
The Grand Canyon South Rim has not only a spectacular vista but some really good information centres and artefacts to view. This Rim is a little more set up than the West Rim with a decent sized gift shop and information centre.
I very much enjoyed being able to self drive here so that we could move along the Rim at our own speed. There is so much to see and do without going down in to the canyon itself. Sections of this Rim are fenced which is probably not a bad thing considering the number of people who visit, while other sections are completely open.
A short drive east of the main lookout is a fantastic artefact museum. It is only small but we spent a good hour looking around the different displays before moving on further east to an old village ruin.
Very fascinating and the cultural significance of the are is in abundance as you move along the different vantage points.
Love coming back to the South Rim time and time again.

Rocks 70 Million Years Old
no one knows exactly how old the #grandcanyon is. 👴🏻 a study suggests that the process may have started as far back as 70 million years ago! 🪨 the grand canyon was not as breath-taking as we imagined since we visited it last, but we still took a million photos of the same view. 📸 on the way back, we saw the night view of the #hooverdam which was pretty cool. 🦫

Breathtaking! The Grand Canyon, a masterpiece of nature in the USA.
A place you must visit at least once in your lifetime 🥹
The Grand Canyon
is located in the northwest of Arizona, stretching about 450 km in length and reaching a depth of approximately 1.6 km.
It is the largest canyon in the world ✨
The red-brown rock formations, said to represent 2 billion years of geological history,
create a landscape that is truly Earth's natural art!
To visit the Grand Canyon,
we recommend combining it with a trip to Las Vegas ☝🏽
We took a Cessna tour to the Grand Canyon!
The weather was so rough that the Cessna shook violently 🤣
But we were very satisfied because we got to see
beautiful scenery from above that can only be seen from the sky, as shown in photo 4 🥹
⭐︎ Recommended tourist seasons
Late spring in May and June, and early autumn in September are the most comfortable times to visit!
The temperature can drop significantly in the mornings and evenings, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket ◎
Be sure to visit along with Las Vegas!

Splendid Grand Canyon
The rocks in the Grand Canyon area of the United States are mostly red. The exposed layers from the bottom to the top are relatively complete, including the pre-Cambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. The oldest layer is metamorphic rock from the Precambrian era. The exposed layers are clear in sequence, with different colors, and contain representative fossil specimens from various geological ages. It is also known as the "living geological history textbook".
