Learning Vacations

The park offers a host of seasonal ranger programs. A typical schedule includes daily guided hikes and walks, kids' programs, and discussions of geology, native plant and animal species, and natural and cultural history. Evening programs are offered nightly, year-round on the South Rim. All programs are free and open to everyone; just show up at the meeting places, which are scattered around the park (overlooks, trail heads, archaeological sites, and so on). For an up-to-date schedule, consult the park's newspaper, The Guide, or stop in at the Visitor Center at Canyon View Information Plaza on the South Rim, or at the North Rim Visitor Center.
