In 1995, I visited the park and cooked a steak on my grill. This was at the North rim. I finished eating and soon after, two falcons flew near me. For 20 minutes, they whistled past me like two miniature jets doing acrobatic precision manouvers. I'll never forget that.

Best time to go is April, no doubt, Snow every but the canyon and path, HUGE SNOWY mountains behind. The day I went it was closed so I walked the 4 mile walk there, and the 4 back, took all day, one of my favorite places ever

Didn't see anything about taking the winding road down into the canyon. There's a campground at the bottom of the canyon and you can hike alongside the Colorado River. Tons of bears, absolutely stunning scenery from the top and the bottom of the canyon! Highly recommend checking it out. Drink a beer with your toes in the cold river water with some good friends, nothing better! Just dispose of your trash properly ;-)

It's called a canyon but I believe it is truly a gorge. I think it's classified a gorge if it is deeper than it is wide.
