One may overlook Grand Canyon by seeing it the wrong way: hike down to Shoshone Point in order to take in the view without all the tourists and their selfie sticks. The North Rim is less visited, if you’d like to stay at the Grand Canyon North Rim Lodge. Or for the full experience, try your luck at the Phantom Ranch lottery, which would allow you to stay in a riverside lodge that dates back to the 1930s at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. The two-day hike (down South Kaibab trail and up Bright Angel trail) is quite a trek, but definitely worth it.
