Transparency matters

Affiliate Disclosure

GrandCanyonVisitorCenter.com is an independent visitor-information website. Some links on this site may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you make a qualifying purchase or booking after following one of those links.

What this means for you

Using an affiliate link generally does not increase the price you pay. The booking, payment, cancellation policy, customer service and fulfillment of the product or service are handled by the third-party provider, not by GrandCanyonVisitorCenter.com.

What this means for us

Affiliate commissions help support the research, writing, maintenance and continued development of this visitor resource. They are one of the ways an independent information site can remain available without charging readers for access.

Our editorial approach

Information first, booking second

We aim to explain the decision before presenting a booking option: what an experience includes, who it is best for, what tradeoffs to consider, and when a simpler or free alternative may make more sense. A commercial relationship does not make a tour, hotel or activity automatically suitable for every visitor. Compensation does not determine whether an option is recommended, how it is ranked against alternatives, or whether we tell a visitor that a free or simpler choice is better.

Not every link pays us

Editorial links and affiliate links may appear together

Many links on this site go directly to the National Park Service, tribal authorities, government agencies, museums, visitor resources and other organizations from which we receive no compensation. Those links are included because they are useful or authoritative.

Questions about a recommendation or affiliate relationship?
