Description
The width and depth of the canyon vary from place to place. At the South Rim, near Grand Canyon Village, (where this image was taken) it's a vertical mile (about 5000 feet/1524 m) from rim to river, or 7 miles/11.3 km by trail. At its deepest, it is 6000 vertical feet/1829 m from rim to river. The width of the canyon at Grand Canyon Village is 10 miles/16 km (rim to rim), though in places it is as much as 18 miles/29 km wide.
A trip to the bottom of the canyon and back (on foot or by mule) is a two-day journey. Rim-to-rim hikers generally take three days one-way to get from the North Rim to the South Rim. A trip through Grand Canyon by raft can take two weeks or longer. Experienced backpackers have spent weeks in the more remote areas of the canyon.
