Being our first time to the Grand Canyon, the village wasn't really what we expected. We thought maybe it was....a village. With shops and restaurants, etc. It does have some restaurants, all owned b… Full review by Mike B

Just returned from a 12 day road trip with 2nights at Maswik Lodge in Grand Canyon Village. Paid more than staying in Tusayan for the location but you need to get up early or late to appreciate the c… Full review by Adventurer556201

Gateway to the grand canyon south rim. For lodging, make a reservation ahead of time to secure your place. Be prepared for higher price tags. There are law enforcement rangers everywhere so be mindfu… Full review by minimize940314
I'm taking two 80 year old ladies to the Canyon for the first time. Where is the best place for them to stay?

Grand Canyon village .Its a strip of hotels , A Pizza hut restaurant which is part of a cinema . Mac Donald’s and few steak houses a gas station & shop , Trading Post gifts and food and that’s your lot. Not what you’d expect beside a world heritage site

An early morning hike down part of South Kaibab Trail is always an exhilarating way to start the day. Ooh-Aah Point or Cedar Ridge are popular destinations for day-hikers on the trail. Especially in the summer, you want to get your hiking done in the morning. It'll take 1-3hours depending on how far you decide to go. Take the orange shuttle from the visitor center to reach the trailhead. Bring adequate water and maybe some salty snacks. Besides the views right in the village itself, there are great viewpoints to the west along Hermit Road. During the spring, summer, and winter, you'll use the free shuttle to get to them. In the winter, you'll use your own car. About 3 hours will cover it. There are also a series of great viewpoints to the easy along Desert View Drive. It is only reachable with your own vehicle. Takes about 3 hours to cover it.
Hello ! I shall stay few days in Las Vegas and my plan is to make a one day trip to the Grand Canyon. However, I have no idea what to visit first. Can you tell me what can I visit ? What are the highlights of the area ? What should I see first ? What can I visit in a one day trip? Thank you

It depends on what you mean by a one day trip. If you mean driving out and back the same day, that really only gives you maybe 5 hours to look around. If you mean staying overnight, that obviously gives you more time to fully explore. If you leave LV at round 7am, it's a 5 hour drive, so you'd get there about noon. If you want to get back to LV at a decent time, you'd probably leave the canyon at 5pm. In those 5 hours, you could park at the visitor center, walk out behind it to Mather Point to get your first look at the canyon. Then walk along the rim trail to the Bright Angel Lodge area. From there, you could take a short hike down some of the Bright Angel Trail. Coming back up, you could get some food at various places and go souvenir shopping. Now, if you planned to stay overnight, that would give you more time to do other things like to see the viewpoints along Hermit's Rest Road via the shuttle bus or to drive to viewpoints on Desert View Drive and to take a hike on some of the South Kaibab Trail. If you're planning to stay overnight, it's more convenient to stay inside the park. If that's too pricey or they're totally booked (which happens often), stay outside in Tusayan.
Would like to know what the weather will be like in June and where we should stay in the area that is not full of tourist? We will have a car and flying into Flagstaff.

Grand Canyon Village and the entire south rim will be over run with tourists from Memorial Day on. Keep in mind even though you have a car,it can be tough to find a parking space. Also, the road to Hermits Rest and many of the overlooks are open only to the park shuttle buses in the summer. If you want to avoid crowds stay in Flag or drive 200 miles around to the north rim which very few people visit. The Hulapai nation on the west rim near Peach Springs is also less crowded and features the famous glass bottom sky walk out over the canyon. If you do stay at the south rim, check places in Tusayan, just outside the park boundary.. There is also a lodge at Cameron in the Navajo nation to to the east located on the edge of the Little Colorado Gorge. From there,it is an easy drive back down highway 89 to Flag. No matter where you go and stay, it will be hot during the day and cools off considerably overnight as you are in the high desert.
