Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona The Grand Canyon needs no introduction, and thoroughly deserves its place on the list of incredible canyons to visit. Hikes along the rim either for sunrise or sunset are a guaranteed spectacle of colors and lights, or take it easy, perhaps opting for the shuttle rides around Hermit’s road, with stops to enjoy views from the different lookouts. For a full panoramic view above the 2952-mile drop, Mather Point on the Rim Trail is your best bet. Although on the opposite end of the canyon, if you want to feel like you’re floating above it all, Skywalk, the glass platform jutting out over the rim at Grand Canyon West, takes the cake. Summers tend to reel in the crowds as the trails get icy in the winter and the North Rim closes, so autumn is the ideal season to get the most out of this grand beauty. Your next stop – or drive – is much less mystical but can definitely feel haunted at times. This short stretch of Route 66 that detours off I-40 at Seligman is littered with forgotten gas stations and ghost towns like Peach Springs. You might recognize some of the sights – the animated film Cars was inspired by the abandoned John Osterman Shell Station and other deserted landmarks close by.
