Wow. Worth the effort. Good roads and well marked views . Data service almost the whole way so you can check in as you go.

$10 for a week pass, go as many times as you'd like. There are 1/4 mile-7 mile and everything in between for hiking trails and lots of places just to stop and look at the scenery.

David Pitts

Incredible rock formations and geology to be seen here. Drive the rim road and stop at every overlook, the view never gets old.

Surprisingly great NPS site with a wonderful scenic drive and a lot to see and do. Can get hot in the summer.

Drive the 23-mile Rim Rock Drive through the red-rock canyon, take part in a ranger-led program that explores everything from geology to wildlife or hop on your road bike .

Worth the trip and small fee

In-season, Loops A & D campsites require a 3-day advance reservation - but Loop B is just as nice for tent camping and is first-come first- served.
