The Insider's Guide to the Grand Canyon

Use these tips to avoid the crowds and take in all this magical place has to offer.



Autumn, when temperatures fall and the tourist hordes go home, is the perfect time to head to the Grand Canyon. Whether you have a weekend or a month, we've got options.

Car Camp
You don’t have to take all your vacation days to have a good adventure. For starters, you get a pretty damn good view of the canyon’s majesty from the National Park Service village along the South Rim. Skip the tourist vibe at El Tovar and the Bright Angel Lodge in favor of one of the campgrounds along the entrance road. The best is Mather, located within walking distance of the canyon and a general store (good for last-minute s’mores supply runs). Even on a busy Memorial Day weekend, you can ditch the bused-in gawkers at this quiet, wooded site...outsideonline.com for more..




Watch: NH State Trooper Almost Struck by a Bus 4/21/2016




CONCORD, NH - The New Hampshire State Police took to Facebook yesterday to remind New Hampshire residents that the state has "move over" legislation in place so that officials don't get hit while at emergency stops on the highways.

According to the video, at before 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 21st, Trooper Michael Catalfamo of NHSP Troop D conducted a roadside investigation on I-89 and a consent search of a vehicle. Upon completing the traffic stop, Catalfamo attempted to return to his cruiser. At that time, a coach bus failed to move over or slow down when approaching Catalfamo.

The weather at the time of this incident was clear, traffic conditions were light and this section of roadway was straight, according to the post. The three cruisers on the stop had emergency lights activated and would have been visible for more than a mile. The bus came within inches the trooper, as shown in video provided by the Grantham Police Dept.

The operator of the bus was issued a citation for failure to obey.

The NHSP request that motorists obey the state's Move Over and Slow Down.
