I remember getting a knock on our cabin door one night from the grandchildren. They had just participated in the night program and were so excited to share the news. They could see the Milky Way for the first time in their lives.

We've lived in Arizona for years, but never really made the time to see the canyon. When we finally did, we wanted to pitch in any way we could.

Current Priorities
Grand Canyon Night Skies Program
The Grand Canyon has some of the best night skies on the planet. We're working to become a "Dark Sky Park" to keep it that way.
Desert View Watchtower
Members of American Indian tribes are working with the Park to create a heritage area to share their art and culture.
Grand Canyon Trail Restoration
More than 350 miles of historic trails lead into the canyon. Each year, crews restore popular trails to keep them welcoming and safe.
