However,
the summer months traditionally draw the greatest
number of visitors and reservations are recommended
well in advance. There are over 2000 hotel rooms
available in the Grand Canyon Village and Tusayan
areas. Enjoy a fresh summer breeze rich with the
scent of pine following a brief afternoon thundershower.
In every season the Grand Canyon is a spectacular
vision. The breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon,
one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World,
is like nothing else you will ever experience.
Within its vast expanse and awesome depth, there
is an ever changing panorama or color, from the
first light of day until the sun sets on the distant
horizon, concluding the melodrama until another
day. Petrified Forest is a surprising land of
scenic wonders and fascinating science. The park
is located in northeast Arizona and features one
of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations
of petrified wood. One of the most spectacular
examples of erosion anywhere in the world, Grand
Canyon is unmatched in the incomparable vistas
it offers to visitors on the rim. The area known
as both Tuweep and Toroweap, is on the northwest
rim of the Grand Canyon in the remote Arizona
Strip. The Kanab Plateau rises sharply to the
east, while the volcanic Pine/Uinkaret Mountains
form the western margin of Toroweap Valley. The
view from Toroweap Overlook, 3000 vertical feet
above the Colorado River, is breathtaking; the
sheer drop, dramatic! Equally impressive are the
volcanic features, cinder cones and lava flows,
which make this viewpoint unique in Grand Canyon
National Park.

Renowned Lava Falls Rapid is just downriver
and can easily be seen and heard from the
overlook. Toroweap, a Paiute term meaning
"dry or barren valley," refers to many local
features, including the geologic formation
and fault, the valley, and the overlook.
Tuweep came into use to describe the local
white settlement and later the park district.
Tuweep in Paiute refers to "the earth",
but this place name may be derived from
a longer Paiute word meaning "long valley."
A visit to this area can be challenging,
but rewarding. Since the National Park Service
manages the area for its primitive values,
improvements and services are minimal. Come
to Grand Canyon and experience a once in
a lifetime adventure !
