It really is awesome, shockingly amazing, and beautifully grand. We were hoping to avoid mega-crowds. And we did! We camped outside the park at Ten-X campground ($10/night), showered inside the park at camper services, hiked the Rim Trail early in the morning from Powell Point to Monument Creek Vista (passed but a couple folks on the whole 3 mile hike), shuttled bussed to the last 2 points on Hermit's Road to the old cabin (now gift shop), and then drove to the Watchtower on the other end of the rim (that part was crowded, but not overly so). The Grand Canyon, for me, was totally amazing. I sort of can't believe you can walk so close to the edge everywhere, but really makes you aware of the magnitude of the natural wonder you're standing in. Not sure if these pictures do it justice. This is the more popular South Rim. We intended to also do the North Rim, but got side-tracked by Lake Powell.
