Hotels near Grand Canyon South Rim, Tusayan

Beautiful views. Our only negative was that the Park handout, that we received upon entry, was very vague and lacking clarity and details. This caused some confusion but ultimately we were able to find our way.

Great to walk along the walkways - some more vertiginous than others 😂 Use the buses to get back and forth along routes . Take water with you and refill at stations . Desert view - is worth the drive as it gives a different perspective on the canyon from the west of south rim . The Geology museum is really good and explains the chronology of the canyon very well. It’s absolutely amazing btw !

We visited in April -- not too crowded and fabulous weather. We went in early and parked at the Geological museum instead of the tourist center -- it was a great place to start! If you're planning to stay overnight, check out the hotels inside the Park; they are much better than the town just outside the park.

Red route bus is a must to see view points. Orange route is ok showing couple point of desert scenic drive. It is the best to drive the scenic drive then taking orange route. Blue route is the transfer from visitor center to red route. The last stop of this blue route is the long trail if you like hiking down the moutain.
