Did you know that the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park has over 30 miles of rim views and is the widest part of Grand Canyon?

Tusayan is the closest town to the South Rim of Grand Canyon – Just one mile from the entrance. Make Tusayan your home base for exploring this World Wonder!

Tusayan – Arizona, is the level of undiscovered where they still have to explain how to pronounce their town name on their homepage (it’s Too-Say-On, and it’s very much not to be confused with Tucson).

Its permanent population doesn’t even total 600 people. And it’s the place where you can have multiple iconic bucket list experiences. Do not forget to visit the Grand Canyon National Park.

Finally, check that bucket-list family trip off the list by cruising the most famous road trip in the country. Make an extended itinerary of it, and do what you’ve always dreamed of: curiosity-fueled detours.

Tusayan is just an hour off of Route 66, the perfect proximity for a side quest. So plan that detour to a town with an interesting name, and you’ll find it leads to even more lifetime memories.
