Beautiful tour
My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour. The van was comfortable and clean, and our guide was great. Mark Lane did a great job of balancing narrating the tour and allowing quiet time.

One full day is enough time to see the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. However, two days are even better. One day is enough to visit the best viewpoints and hike parts of the Rim Trail. Two days are enough to descend into the canyon and explore longer trails.
Q:What should I not miss at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon?
A:
Don’t miss the scenery at one of the viewpoints along the Rim Trail. Mather is the most popular, but Yavapai has fewer crowds. You should also take one of the trails below the rim and visit the Yavapai Museum of Geology, a storehouse of the canyon’s geological history.

Spring and fall are the best times to visit the Grand Canyon. Daytime weather is pleasant, and the crowds are relatively thin from March through May and September through November. In the summer peak season, expect big crowds and soaring temperatures. Winters are often frigid but much less crowded.
