Having been to the Grand Canyon several times it is my opinion that the
best way to appreciate it is to hike it.  From the top it looks like a 
big post card to me, but the hike in and out is like nothing else I have 
ever experienced .  Accommodations at the bottom range from primitive
camping to lodging with showers.  The Phantom Ranch at the bottom serves
breakfast and dinner.  You can also buy a cold beer, mail a letter and 
make a phone call.  All planning must be done in advance and in writing.  
If this sounds like something you would be interested in drop me some email 
and I can give you more details.
