Let’s face it, if you have a family travel bucket list, taking your kids to see the nation’s greatest natural wonder is definitely on it. So why is 2019 the year to visit? Because the Grand Canyon National Park is celebrating its 100th birthday as a national park. The park is rolling out special events to celebrate, but even without them, you can still explore the stunning scenery of the mile-deep crevice by hiking a corridor trail, riding a mule down the Canyon or just enjoying the landscape from an overlook. Another family favorite here: A ride on the Grand Canyon Railway, which combines an unforgettable ride through spectacular surroundings with live music and stories that bring the Old West to life.

Where to stay:

For the best access to the national park, stay at one of Grand Canyon National Park's Lodges located right along the crater rim. If you don’t want to plan a trip on your own, Adventures by Disney offers weeklong trips to Utah and Arizona that combine Disney’s great planning skills, entertainment and amazing staff with memorable outings, including a private Canyon tour, cowboy cookout and a Colorado River whitewater rafting.
