Have A Romantic Dinner On The Edge Of The South Rim
There’s nothing like eating dinner with a view over the massive expanse of the Grand Canyon. The El Tovar dining room is a highly sought after dining experience for many visitors to the area. El Tovar offers a classic, fine dining environment and is a great excuse for patrons to dress up and enjoy incredibly five-star dining options. Many of the dining options within the park are quite basic, so this makes a nice change. If you’re looking to enjoy a more luxurious trip to the park then El Tovar can top off a wonderful evening after a day of enjoying activities such as the helicopter tour. The dining area of the El Tovar is majestic and made of Oregon Pine and native stone. The artwork and murals on the walls and the rustic style of the room are reflective of the four Native American tribes that call the area home. The food draws from local and Southwest influences and the restaurant is considered to be the premier dining experience in the area, it is an internationally renowned dining option and well worth the visit just make sure you reserve a table well in advance to avoid disappointment. If you’re travelling to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas then you will need to continue on past the West Rim to the South Rim to get to the restaurant. It’s a longer drive, but many of the famous sights are located in this area so it’s worth it if you have some extra time.

Go Stargazing Under The Night Sky
The Grand Canyon has low levels of light pollution and as a result, has some of the best night skies around, making it the
perfect place for stargazers to enjoy. If you’ve just come from the city lights of Las Vegas you’re probably missing the stars, get back to nature at one of the base camps dotted around the park. There’s nothing more romantic then marveling at the celestial sights on offer at the park on a picnic blanket. Take a telescope with you and you’ll be able to see everything. There are some great places to make the most of stargazing around the park, such as at Yavapai Point, which is only a short walk from Grand Canyon Village. If you want to make a real night of it, why not take part in one of the stargazing parties that happen regularly around the national park.
