    Very nice. I came across a video documentary of the Grand Canyon at a Dollar Store depicting some of the similar venues. This tour was really nice to see and beautiful view and colors.

    Hi from the Netherlands! A-mazing video. Helps really in our preparation in visiting GC next April with our daughters (8,5 and 6,5). We want to walk a small part into the canyon. Considering both SK to ooh Aah or BA to the second tunnel. Ooh Aah point seems more impressive regarding to views. Is it an appropriate hike for our daughters? We are not concerned about the lenght or steep climb, but more about the drop offs next to the switchbacks (especially the bends in there). What do you guys think? Thanks so much!

    • @scottsdaletravelchick
      @scottsdaletravelchick  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Silvabeuf.
      I think any of the hikes we mentioned should be quite safe. There are switchbacks but not really dangerous.
      OohAhh point probably has the best views.

    Where would one park to hop on the shuttle initially? Would it be the visitors center? Also, we are used to hauling a case of water in our trunk at the parks. Are there water filling stations at the shuttle stops?

    • @scottsdaletravelchick
      @scottsdaletravelchick  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey There Adventure
      The map in our video shows little “bus icons” on it - those are all the stops.
      They are basically at every key place and trailhead as well as important overlooks - the village, market plaza, visitor center, south kaibab trailhead, hermits rest, etc. Anywhere half way important will have a stop and you can get a free map when you enter the park.
      Also, the big destinations like the Village and Visitor Center as well as key trailheads will have water filling stations.
      Please come back and let us know how your trip went! Hope our guide will be of use.

    • @scottsdaletravelchick

      Two of the three are possible. Like you are planning, doing the rim trail and then one of the other two is probably best.

      Hi Real King.
      See my other response to another commentor.
      Substitute “seen” for “discovered” if that makes you feel better!
      Hope you enjoyed the video otherwise.

      @@scottsdaletravelchick Oh no feelings were harmed in the viewing of this video ma'am. Im just a logical person and so when I saw that portion of the video and heard colonizing being termed as discovery, it just triggered my logical brain and I thought "well that's not an accurate depiction of what happened!" But other than that I enjoyed the video and got what I came for, so no need to substitute terms for me, I'll leave the onus on you.

      If I want to listen to background music, I'll pick it. But, when it's in a video, if I don't care for it, I can't shut it off.

    The canyon was not first discovered by Europeans in 1540. The natives had known about the canyon centuries before the Europeans. Do not whitewash history.

    • @scottsdaletravelchick
      @scottsdaletravelchick  2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Hi Amin
      If you watched the video closely you would realize that’s what we said - watch it again s l o w l y if you need to convince yourself.
      Is says ‘discover by Europeans when they were taken there by local Hopi Indian guides’….
      Just to be clear - Everything in the ‘new world’ was discovered by a European at some point.
      That doesn’t mean those places weren’t already known and discovered by natives at some point earlier.
      Unfortunately in most cases we don’t know those earlier dates, and more importantly, those dates are not relevant to the context of the story about the development of the canyon.
