My family and I were hoping to plan a trip to the Grand Canyon this summer, and, never having been there before, was wondering if anyone had any advice? We have no idea which end we'd like to focus on, or which side either, so advice on any portion of the canyon would be great. I was hoping to get in some canyoneering/hiking, rafting/kayaking , mountain biking, swimming (DWS, maybe?), and sightseeing in. It's a lot to cover, so info on any is appreciated. I'm the only one in the family with experience in any of these, so nothing TOO intense, although we still want to do way more than a typical tourist-style vacation. If there is anything that I didn't mention but you recommend let me know.
Also, I've done a fair amount of guided climbing and can follow around the 5.9 range, so if there is any good guides or climbing around let me know! Thanks, pmb
