A Perfect Tightwad Day at the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and there are at least seven ways to explore it. You can fly above it in a helicopter, catch the I-Max flick for an eagle's perspective, take the shuttle around the perimeter, hike the canyon paths, ride a mule to Phantom Ranch in the valley below, attend the ranger lectures, or simply sit on the edge and watch the light manipulate the ever-changing shadows on the canyon walls. With enough time and money, you can use all these approaches, but, if your resources are limited, here's a day I think will please you. While it is, in typical Tightwad fashion, short on expense, I think you'll find it long on enjoyment.
