For Fun

The best part about working at the Grand Canyon is when you’re not working! Camping, scenic driving, challenging white water, fishing, and of course hiking are just a few of the attractions of the Grand Canyon National Park. Hiking in this grand, natural museum offers the promise of quiet and solitude, the discovery of nature's improbable secrets and self-discovery. Facing hundreds of miles of trails, and many more miles of possible off-trails routes, hikers can meet the challenges of one of the world's greatest desert canyons.
