Follow the rainbow straight to the seventh natural wonder of the world.
The Grand Canyon South Rim is open and right now is the most perfect time of year to experience it. The weather is ideal, the trails are waiting, the dark skies will stop you cold, and nature is putting on a show that no camera can fully capture. When you roll into Tusayan stop into Buck Wild Route 66 Travel Center first — grab your park pass, pick up your free map, pour a cup of coffee, fill your water bottles, and let a real local who lives here set you up for the most epic Grand Canyon experience of your life. Great hotels, restaurants, gift stores, guided hiking tours with Buck Wild Hummer Tours, helicopter flights with Papillion Helicopters, and scenic airline rides with Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines — everything you need is right here in base camp Tusayan one mile from the entrance. Hike the rim trails, watch the dark skies fill with more stars than you have ever seen in your life, marvel at the wildlife, and let the Grand Canyon do what it has been doing for two billion years — taking your breath away. A huge shout out to the National Park Service, the Town of Tusayan, and every surrounding community working together to keep this experience alive and moving forward for every traveler who comes through that gate. This is your moment. Come experience it.
