The U.S. boasts many travel destinations with breathtaking natural wonders. These places, boasting majestic landscapes, are famous tourist destinations worldwide. Among these iconic destinations, the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim trail is a must-visit in 2024.

Located within the Grand Canyon National Park, this trail is a challenging but incredibly rewarding hiking experience. Passionate hikers can complete it in a day, but most people split the hike into a two-day trek, spending a day at the campground. You can hike this trail from north to south or vice versa.

During the winter, the trail may be closed due to bad weather, so you should always check the National Park website at the planning stage.

We recommend exploring the nearby Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park over two days. Head to Capitol Reef National Park to hike at Goosenecks and Sunset Point.

Trekking in Bryce Canyon National Park is a great way to enjoy Utah.
