November is not the most pleasant month of the year. Particularly a problem in Poland creates weather.

Grand Canyon

We arrive in the afternoon, because we stay in Maswik Lodge in the Grand Canyon. A good solution, because we will not have to leave out of the park at night. Many people, such an attraction visited by 4 million people a year may seem to the constantly busy - such as Zakopane. Nothing could be further from the truth. The vast area of the park and good organization means that there is nowhere over-crowded and everyone will find a suitable place. First, you can see nice views of almost 40 miles from the Grand Canyon Park and Canyon Village. Navajo Indians lined the edge of the canyon to its stand and can be purchased on the spot produced dzbanuszki, bracelets, pendants, etc.
