Tips and Tours: How to Make the Most of Your Visit to Phoenix
Trying to sum up everything that awaits you in the grand canyon in just a few lines would be, more than a feat, almost a lack of respect for one of the most famous and iconic places in the united states.
On our website, you will find a whole page that will tell you not only what to do in the grand canyon , but also includes tips on where to stay , a guide to the best hikes , and many suggestions on which tours to choose. We especially recommend going on a helicopter tour , which is perhaps the most fascinating way to visit the national park.
South Mountain Park and Preserve
Just because the temps may reach 115 by mid afternoon does not necessarily mean that you have to skip the wonderful trails all summer long. Although intense adventures like camelback mountain and pinnacle peak are better suited for the cooler winter months, you can still enjoy a variety of short trails at south mountain park, mesa’s usery mountain park , and scottsdale mcdowell sonoran preserve. All of these quiet desert oasis destinations offer an interesting mix of both easy and advanced trails. If you get up early enough, the temps won’t be too brutal. However, you still need to keep it very short – do not hike more than a few miles and do not set out any later than 6am or so.
Beloved among birders, the 300-acre ramsey canyon preserve is teeming with foliage, nesting sites, and feathered crooners. The peak time for bird songs and breeding is may to july. Take a morning hike to hear the symphony of sounds created by the chorus of resident and migratory birds, such as the arizona woodpecker, whiskered screech owl, painted redstart, and dusky-capped flycatcher. The canyon owes its incredible biodiversity to southeastern arizona’s “ sky islands ,” isolated mountains serving as stepping stones between mexico’s subtropical sierra madre and the temperate rocky mountains. Learn about the science and history of the preserve on a guided walk (offered march to november).
South mountain park preserve , the nation's largest municipally managed park, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts to experience phoenix activities. Hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders have more than 50 miles of trails, while bicyclists can test their endurance on the roadways that climb across three mountain ranges. On "silent sundays," the park even closes its main road to motor vehicles, allowing cyclists and hikers to enjoy the roadways without the buzz of automotive traffic.

As the inspiration for the state’s nickname, the grand canyon came in at the top of this list. The canyon is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep at its lowest point. Because of its sheer size, visitors generally have to choose between the north rim and the south rim of the canyon. The south rim offers the quintessential grand canyon experience, including guided burro rides, paved paths, luxury hotels, savory restaurants, and a terrifying glass skywalk. It’s also easy to access from major cities, making it a great road trip from phoenix and los angeles.
