8. Tusayan Museum and Ruins

SOUTH RIM.   Thanks to detailed exhibits, artifacts, and scale models, this museum instructs visitors about Native Americans who once inhabited the Grand Canyon area. Hopi and Anasazi tribes are provided the most attention, especially given the adjacent Anasazi ruins, which date from the 12th century. They're accessible via an easy trail that winds through a small complex that housed approximately 30 people. The pueblo structure was built using limestone blocks and included spaces for living, storage, and ceremony. Rangers lead tours daily, but most folks opt for self-guided excursions.   (© 10Best)
