Hi, I'm wondering if the grand canyon is worth seeing. I will be a couple hours away from there next week and wondering if its a fun time or if its boring.

Thanks

Well, it depends. Were you just planning on driving to the South (or North) Rim, parking your car, walking out and looking over the edge, then hopping back into your car and leaving? If so, then I'd say it'd probably be pretty boring.

Well I don't know.. We're up for anything. We'll be in Arizona for a week and were thinking about driving down.

Tod. Are you kidding? Read my trip report.

No offense but is this question a joke? This is one of the greatest natural wonders in the world.

If you have to ask, the answer is probably no.

The Grand Canyon is awesome, wonderful, incredible. Everyone should see it at least once in their life. I prefer North Rim over South, but either is great.

Yikes..........

Hey, the trolls are back! Who said the registration will eliminate them?

Are you for real? If this is a troll find something else to do with your time. If not, well let's see the Grand Canyon is one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. Do you think maybe it might be worth a couple of hours of your time? If not, then why not just go to a shopping mall where you are visiting and then proceed to tell everyone how you like to travel.

Todd, it's one HELL of party. Booze, strippers, gambling...

For most people in this world, the answer is unquestionably, yes. For Todd, the answer is undoubtedly, no.

I LOVE this thread!! OL

SKIP THE CANYON AND GO GAMBLING ON ONE OF THE INDIAN RESERVATIONS. AT LEAST YOU MIGHT WALK AWAY WITH SOMETHING MORE THAN A SUNBURN AND A SORE ASS (FROM THE DONKEY RIDE).

It's nothing but a big hole in the ground! And besides, there are six other wonders of the world to see.

You know I have been wondering about that same question for a long time. I keep going to the Grand Canyon trying to figure out the answer. I must have been there 6 times or more. We once tried going to both rims on the same trip to see what the answer was. We never could figure it out, so I think I will go back again and see if I can discover any more answers. The place is so large I just can't seem to see enough on one visit to make a decision.
I will keep trying; maybe one day I will decide after another 2 or 3 trips.

Oh dear Toddruggy, have you not ever seen any pictures of the Grand Canyon or TV clips, if not check them out and you decide.

I sure hope its worth seeing. ten years dreaming. Five months planning. And only six days til I'm on my way to drop my jaw at this baby!!

I've been to both the North and South rim and honestly was not awestruck or inspired. Maybe if I had camped there, taken a mule ride, or done more than just look at it I'd feel differently. To me, the Grand Canyon was just one of those things you have to see if you're close by but in the end I think Grand Tetons, Banff and Jasper, Yellowstone, Crater Lake are more awe-inspiring (IMO).

Skip it - if you have a few hours, you can probably fly to New Jersey instead - be sure to see Hoboken and Seacaucus - not to be missed.

ROTFLMAO..If you have to ask,stay home and rent the movie.
