Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size. North Rim has closed for the winter. Reopens May 15, 2016 Construction at S. Entrance Station. Short delays are possible Nearly five million people each year see the 1 mile deep (1.6 km) Grand Canyon each year. The canyon is 277 river miles (446km) long, and up to 18 miles (29km) wide. Most visitors (90%) see Grand Canyon from the "South Rim" from overlooks accessed by free park shuttle buses or by their personal vehicles.
