Everyone should go on the Guided Tour
If you only have a short time like we did this is an excellent way to see the canyon in all its glory. You stop several times at different places to see some spectacular sights. Also can view the Colorado River and her rapids. If you are lucky you might see rafters. Take bioculars if you have them. The Hermit Rest store was great. There were lots of items to see and the scence from the front of the shop was fantistic. Great for adults and children. The Tour Guide was absolutely fantistic and gave a lot of trivia and factual information.
We enjoyed it very much. We will and have recommend it to everyone. The price is reasonable and the time is well worth spendt.
