2Day 1. Las Vegas To The Grand Canyon
Your trip begins in “Sin City” Las Vegas, 279 miles from the Grand Canyon. Check out the various attractions here in the morning, if you haven’t already checked them out on Day 0. Be sure to peruse the other articles on this website for more information on what to do and see in Las Vegas, Nevada.)
Prep for a drive of 4.5 hours. Stop to stretch your legs at the Memorial Bridge to see Hoover Dam. Check out Lake Mead from the overlook too.
This schedule focuses on the South Rim which is more family-friendly, with more moderate hiking trails, more amenities, and more to do. You can spend the night in Tusayan, just six miles from the popular South Rim. Should you crave solitude and more challenging hiking trails, simply adjust your schedule a bit and drive to the North Rim.
Only 10 percent of the canyon’s visitors come here. You can stay at the Yavapai Lodge or the Bright Angel Lodge. Both of these places are on site.

Hi!
Your trip sounds good too but we had to cover a lot of area in 10 days. We all have our own opinions and favorites. I just think it’s great we have so many options!
