Grand Canyon National Park
There are a couple of accessible trails at this World Heritage Site. The Grand Canyon lies on the Colorado Plateau in northwestern Arizona. In this semi-arid land of raised plateaus and structural basins, the Colorado River has cut an extensive canyon, averaging 4,000′ deep for 277. It is 6,000 feet deep at its deepest point and 18 miles at its widest.
Be aware that this is high country. The rim is nearly 7000′ above sea level. We visited the Grand Canyon in January. It was bitter cold (-6 F˚) but not very crowded. I was impressed how quickly the wheelchair accessible path was plowed.
