Sunrise & sunset
It's practically required that visitors to the Grand Canyon catch at least one sunrise or sunset from a spot near the rim. The shadows are deeper, the colors more dramatic at those times. Some of the best places on the South Rim to view the light show are Hopi Point, Yavapai Point, Yaki Point and Lipan Point, and at the Desert View tower. Sunrise and sunset are also the best times to capture the Canyon on film. Although no photo can do the Canyon justice, you'll stand a better chance early or late in the day. National Park Service officials suggest you get to your place about 30 minutes early to land a spot.
Bicycling
Bicycles are permitted on all paved and unpaved park roads and the new Greenway Trail. They are prohibited on all other trails, including the Rim Trail. Bicyclists must obey all traffic regulations. Always ride single file with the flow of traffic. See and be seen; wear bright colors and a helmet.
Fishing
Fishing in the park requires an Arizona state fishing license. Licenses are available at Canyon Village Marketplace in Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim. Call (928) 638-2234 or (928) 638-2262. Licenses are also available at Marble Canyon Lodge, located 2.5 hours north from the South Rim, near Lees Ferry. Licenses are not available at the North Rim. Make sure you know the regulations before you fish. Most fishing opportunities require an overnight backcountry use permit.
If you bring pets
Pets must be leashed at all times. Leashed pets are allowed on trails above the rim and throughout the developed areas. Pets are not permitted below the rim, in park lodging (hotel rooms), or on park buses. The only exception is service animals. Leashed pets are permitted in Mather Campground, Desert View Campground, and Trailer Village.
Persons wishing to take a service animal below the rim must check-in first at the Backcountry Information Center. A kennel is available at the South Rim. It is open daily: 7:30am - 5pm. Call (928) 638-0534 for information. Reservations are suggested.
