The Grand Canyon offers many different accommodations, each with its own charm. For the more adventurous camping and backpacking are available, as well as one- and two-day mule trips to various spots within the Canyon. Others prefer the rustic and historical charm of the cabins or hotel rooms in the area.

Gated communities seem to encourage outside activity. Perhaps it’s because residents feel safer walking their dog, riding a bicycle, or enjoying an evening stroll where traffic is restricted. Or, it could be due to friendships that develop as residents enjoy the community pool and other recreational pursuits.
