Many people travel to the Grand Canyon which is located in northern
Arizona in the United States. While many people go just to admire the
views, there are a number of activities you can do there. You can go
whitewater rafting on the Colorado River, ride your bike along trails, go
horseback riding, or go hiking in the valley. To get down to the bottom of
the valley you can hike or take a boat from further up the Colorado River.
If you decide to hike down to the valley you have to take two days: one
to go down and one to come back. This is because the temperatures can
get very high at the bottom of the valley and it is too difficult on your
body to do it all in one day.
