Anyone been there? If so, then what is it we should we be signing up for? All I know to do is spit over the edge and throw a rock or something. The Griswalds in the movie "Vacation" drove all that way, looked, said "yup" and headed back after about 5 seconds of looking. One chance to get this right so we need to know where to go and what to do for a family of five which includes 3 teenagers who don't mind learning and exploring but not the heavy physical stuff for us parents. Late Dec. so nights will be cold. As I got it figured so far... North rim closed in winter. West rim has the skywalk on the injun reservation but not much else. South rim has some tours, park service, museums, learning center etc. Not much on hiking as I'm getting too old for that sort of nonsense. Everything seems to be uphill both ways as I get older. No burro rides either as this flatland farmer from the prarie won't go down a steep rocky slope on something self propelled with no steering wheel. River raft/boat rides on the Colorado seem unnatural too (can't swim), especially when your riding a glorified inner tube! My idea of a boat is something that keeps me and the inside of the boat drier than the body of water around me. But the helicopter fly-in sounds alright. Death from falling from the sky would at least be quick and painless and put on a he11 of a show for the on lookers. Thats what I like about things mechanical, either they work or they don't. Maybe I could spot a few old tractors from up there! Let me hear your experiences and what your family and kids enjoyed the most.
