  • One of the best ways you can experience the South Rim of Grand Canyon in 3 to 4 hours is to combine walking with shuttle bus riding. Learn ways to get out to spectacular scenic views, and visit the historic Grand Canyon Village.

    A ranger was once asked "If you only had 3 hours to see the park what would you do?" His response: "I'd cry".

      Funny you say that. I was at the North Rim for just 24 hours and I cried when I had to leave. Seriously!
      I live on the east coast. This was my first trip out west, and it was nothing short of stunning! I can't wait to come back. Just watching this puts a longing in my heart.

    so that means theres no fee to see the canyon per say? Im planning on going to San Fran, but want to make a quick stop at the Canyon

    • @Latinos4Trump

      San Fran is a liberal cesspool. Go to Disneyland instead. Unless you want to be robbed, shot by a illegal alien or don't mind walking over human feces and drug needles.( I lived 20 min north)

    Damn I'm in Anthem I have family in Arizona for 12 years and this is my first time visiting them and I was told that the grand Canyon is too far meanwhile we went to Sedona an hour closer than the canyon like wtf could have saw all this for an extra 2 hours and $10 of gas

      You're family should have taken you

    • @DivaInTheWoods
      @DivaInTheWoods 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You need to go back and tell them you're taking the car for the day! Just make that trip on your own! 😁

  • @joeshmoe781

    A helpful tip is to get there early in the morning so as not to sit in line for hours and hours to get a park pass. Even if you already have one you'll need to sit in line just to show the ranger. Sometimes they do have a special line, but not often.

    • @DivaInTheWoods
      @DivaInTheWoods 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is very helpful! I have an America the Beautiful pass and visited the north rim (because I knew the south rim is so crowded) and had very little wait. I hope to make another trip back soon to see the south rim views, so that is information I might not have thought of. Thanks for the tip!

    Great info, perfect for anyone taking the train into the park. You get about 3 hours to take in the sites on a one day round trip.

  • @nickyl9040

    No
    Better idea
    Take US 89 N from Flagstaff to the Cameron Trading Post , use the bathroom , get gas
    Then
    US 89 S 200 yards
    Right on SR 64
    Uphill to Desert View and Lipan Point which is the best place to see the Canyon for the first time
    Why ?
    * The River dominates the landscape
    * It was the place that the Europeans first saw the Canyon
    * You can see the abandoned Annasazi ruins at Unkar Creek N.Rim
    *It's one of the few places in the Canyon where almost all of the geological members can be seen in one place ; Below you is the Grand Canyon Supergroup , to your NNW you can see Butte Fault and trace out the block faulting that created the Canyon , to your left you can see Horseshoe Mesa , the Inner Gorge and the beginning of the Tonto Platform
    Next stop
    Grandview Point
    Below you is Horseshoe Mesa
    If you listen really carefully you can hear Hance and Sockdalager Rapids roaring below you
    Then and only then should you work your way over to the Visitors Center and do what remains of the Ranger's itinerary

      Park shuttle buses are equipped with ramps and space to carry passengers in wheelchairs. Please note: wheelchairs larger than 30 inches wide by 48 inches long (76 cm x 122 cm) cannot be accommodated on the buses and most motorized scooters will not fit.

    "4 hours or less"??? I guess it depends how far away you live, but when we go to the Grand Canyon it will be AT LEAST five days!

    If you're limited to 4 hours you might as well watch a couple nature programs and some TH-cam videos.
