In the area on Grand Canyon, you arrive either from the north side which is remote and easy to travel or south side, which is more near but also more difficult. Either way there are several camping sites and pretty restaurants and hotels. In summer, when in the height of tourist season, a place here is hard to find. Autumn, spring and winter are more appropriate to visit Grand Canyon.

In the southern part are separated and a few walking tracks, a walk along which allows one to fully explore the details of this environment. Northern Grand Canyon has a high altitude and is rarely visited by tourists. This is because it is more distant. As part of its territory is located near Tuvia, which has smaller roads.
