Grand Canyon South Rim for First-Time Visitors: What to See and Do in Half a Day

Описание: Episode 9: Grand Canyon National Park

Vistas. Hiking. Hangry.

The last stop on our 15-day, 6 National Park road trip was the breathtaking Grand Canyon, South Rim!

You can take the free South Rim shuttle bus from the Visitor Center or drive until the public road ends.

As you enter Grand Canyon N.P., one minute you're on the road surrounded by forest and then BAM you see this marvelous canyon appear! We will always remember that feeling. The panoramic views of the Grand Canyon are spectacular!

We partially hiked the Bright Angel Trail, but didn’t make it too far, because the trail was really slippery from the leftover snow and there were mosquitoes everywhere.

Pro Tip: Wear bug spray and of course bring water and snacks!

We opened up our Winnebago Revel's awning and made lunch in the parking lot; pretty sure we drew a lot of head turns! What can we say? When you visit National Parks in a van, it makes for so much convenience!

We stayed at the Grand Canyon Camper Village right outside the park in Tusayan.

Everyone should visit the Grand Canyon at least once in their lifetime to appreciate just how remarkable it truly is.

How to get around Grand Canyon?

Drive until the public road ends. Park entrance fee: $35 per private vehicle for 7-days and includes both rims.
Tusayan Route Shuttle Bus Park and Ride - park in Tusayan and ride a shuttle bus into the park. The Tusayan Route operates from March to September.
Grand Canyon Shuttle Bus - park at a parking lot in the park and take the shuttle bus for easy access to many popular viewpoints and hiking and bicycling opportunities along the South Rim.
