Review about The Grand Canyon

You've gotta see the Grand Canyon at least once in your life.

And go down into it. Standing on the rim, with nothing seeming to move, it looks like you're just looking at a painting. There's definitely nothing wrong with that, because it's beautiful, especially at sunrise. But start down one of the paths, probably Bright Angel, and you'll find that the Canyon comes to life. Dress properly, bring plenty of water. That's the main thing. Remember it takes twice as long to come back up as it did to get down, so consider that when you decide how far down you want to go.

Do you know which of the paths is the quietest? Or most dramatic. I'd rather walk on my own but I know there are always going to be a lot of people at the Grand Canyon.

The North Rim trails are less frequently used by visitors- still there are lots of people there but not as many as on the South Rim.

Thanks very much for your help. I know it's not the place to come to escape the crowds but the quieter the trail the better.
