Grand Canyon Safety Tips:
Grand Canyon National Park rangers encourage visitors to have a safe and memorable vacation to one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A trip to Grand Canyon can be both fun and safe by keeping these few tips in mind.
- Stay on designated trails and walkways and always keep a safe distance of at least six feet (2 m) from the edge.
- In areas where there is a railing or fence, do not climb over the barrier.
- Keep an eye on all of the people in your group, especially small children. Make sure that your travel companions have both feet firmly planted on pavement or developed trails at all times.
- Know where the edge is. Watch foot placement and look for trip hazards.
- Do not run, jump, or perform physical stunts when near the rim.
- Do not back up without first looking where you are going
