Photo quests in Grand Canyon Village

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Grand Canyon Village holds seven quests across four categories, led by Art with three — though only just, with two in Nature behind it.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Hopi House. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other six are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers four of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. Nature quests want weather and daylight rather than opening hours, so the season decides more about a trip here than the distance does. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Grand Canyon Village quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The one quests in Grand Canyon Village the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Questions

About quests in Grand Canyon Village

How many photo quests are there in Grand Canyon Village?
7, across four of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Art (3) and Nature (2). Nothing in Food, Beach and Party here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: El Tovar, Mather Point and Kolb Studio.
What is there to do in Grand Canyon Village beyond the obvious?
One of the 7 quests in Grand Canyon Village is tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Grand Canyon Village holds one at tier 1, two at tier 2 and four at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Hopi House, in Art.
Can you do all the Grand Canyon Village quests on one trip?
Not as one walk. The outermost of the 7 is 26 km from the middle of the Grand Canyon Village list, which makes this a region rather than a neighbourhood: several are a day out in their own right and are worth planning as such rather than fitted in.
Which Grand Canyon Village quests can you do for free?
6 of the 7 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 7 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Grand Canyon Village means one quest: Hopi House.
How do I prove I visited a place in Grand Canyon Village?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Grand Canyon Village is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from El Tovar fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you.
