10 Things You Can’t Miss at the Grand Canyon’s South Rim!
I’ll be honest with you…it’s a little overwhelming to plan a trip to the Grand Canyon National Park. There’s basically a million web pages out there with tons of suggestions on what to see, where to eat, what to wear, what time to wake up, and how many pairs of underwear you should pack. It’s a monumental task just to sift through all that information alone! So what did I decide to do?? Write another post about it! I mean seriously, can you really call yourself a travel blogger if you visit the Grand Canyon and you don’t write a post about it?? I think not. So even though this information…

Desert View Watchtower – A Grand Canyon National Park Must-See!
The Grand Canyon National Park is one of the top 10 most visited National Parks in the entire US! Millions of people from all over the world visit the Canyon every year.

There are a number of truly impressive sights at the Grand Canyon, and it’s not hard to see why it’s ranked amongst the top 10 most visited. That being said, the Grand Canyon is one of those places where it’s easy to feel like…

Everything You Need to Know to Visit Hermit’s Rest at the Grand Canyon National Park!
Hello again! I feel like I’ve been writing about Page and the Grand Canyon forever at this point, but I am now on my third and final leg of posts from my epic trip to Arizona that I took last September with my family! This is the first post I’ve written about the iconic South Rim, and it’s covering one of my favorite spots there! The South Rim was very different from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The South Rim was larger and it offered more attractions than the North. One such attraction is known as Hermit’s Rest, which is located at the end of the historic Hermit’s Road. Trust me when…

Hiking in the Grand Canyon’s North Rim: Transept Trail
Hello everyone! Many of you know that I went on an epic trip to Arizona last year with my family that included Page, the North Rim, and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon! We had a great time in all three places, but I’m pretty sure the North Rim was the most enjoyable stop we made! We saw some pretty epic things in Page, but it was close to 100 degrees in September which is pretty uncool. The North Rim had beautiful scenery and was at a high enough elevation for cooler temps, which was a relief! (Click here to read all my posts on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim!) We didn’t spend…

The Ultimate One Day Itinerary for The Grand Canyon’s North Rim
Last September my family and I traveled to Arizona to see what was up with one of the Seven Wonders of the World…i.e., the Grand Canyon. We traveled for 9 days to three different locations: Page, the North Rim, and the infamous South Rim. I wasn’t a newbie to Arizona but I had never been to any of these three locations. You could say I was pretty stoked to see some new territory! After our bursting-at-the-seams scheduling in Page, AZ, I began to wonder how we were going to top all the awesome activities we just did! Despite my fear, I knew I was in for another treat as soon as I stepped out…

The Ultimate Guide for Planning a Trip to The Grand Canyon’s North Rim
If you’re planning on traveling to the Grand Canyon, you’ve got to make time in your itinerary to see both the North and the South Rim! Let’s be honest – how many times do you think you’ll travel to the Grand Canyon in your life? If you’re like most people it’s probably going to be a one-time thing, so you might as well take the extra couple of days and see both sides! Planning a trip to the Grand Canyon requires a lot of patience – particularly on the South Rim. I booked all my room reservations over a year in advance, and I booked all of our activities in Page, AZ about six…

Ultimate Guide to Stand Up Paddle Board through Antelope Canyon
Most people know that you can visit Antelope Canyon via the Upper or Lower tours, but did you know that Antelope Canyon is accessible from Lake Powell?? I actually didn’t know about it until I had already been in Page for a whole day! What was even more surprising is that many sites count Lake Powell’s Antelope Canyon as one of the top places to stand up paddle board in the world! Well of course when we found that out we knew we had to make some time in our schedule to experience it!! Now before we go any further, I’m going to stop and apologize right now for the quality of the pictures in this post!! I was…

Upper vs. Lower Antelope Canyon – Which to Choose?
Antelope Canyon has become kind’ve a big deal as far as travel goals go! Even if you’ve never heard of it, I’m positive that you’ve seen pictures of it someplace or another! It’s located a couple of hours away from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, which makes it easy to incorporate into your Grand Canyon trip itinerary! I didn’t realize before I started my travel research that there are actually three ways to experience Antelope Canyon. There’s the Upper Antelope Canyon, the Lower Antelope Canyon, and then there’s the Antelope Canyon in Lake Powell that can be kayaked, canoed, etc. (Post coming soon regarding the Lake Powell edition of Antelope…
