Strenuous
Pack a lunch and bring plenty of water. The views are definitely worth the strenuous trail--you'll be glad you got out and used your legs to inhale the beauty of the South Rim.
You earned it. Take it easy for the rest of the afternoon and evening after such a fantastic hike. Drive along the rim until you get to Yavapai Observation Station for panoramic views worth soaking up--and eating while you're at it.
A classic activity. There are many guiding services that will take you out on the trails, down into the depths of the canyon. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Pack up the car, plane, taxi and head on home.
