Tips

Katrien
The view doesn’t get much better than that from the plate-glass windows of this small stone building, but weather permitting, be sure to take in the canyon’s splendor from the lookout just outside. There, you can hear, smell, and feel the canyon rather than just see it. Helpful panels in the museum explain the various formations unfolding before you, and displays (including a scale model) illuminate the canyon’s layered geologic history.

Just stare into the distance for 5 minutes and find out after 5 minutes that you haven't actually seen everything yet. Very beautiful and relaxing location.
