The number of recreational visitors to the Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) in the U.S. reached a total of 4.53 million in 2021, a recovery compared to the 2020 value of 2.9 million visitors. Figures were significantly lower than usual that year due to the impact of the COVID-19 containment measures.
