Grand Canyon South Rim
This is the rim that is popular with tourists. It is a fair piece from Las Vegas, around 300 miles one way. You can drive your self or use one of the guided tours. I usually drive my own car, but I live here, my car is sitting right in front of my nose all day long. Fly in is also available if you want to spend the money. Drive from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam/Boulder City. In Boulder City take a look at the Big Horn sheep. They congregate at Hemenway park to graze on the lawn. Never, but never miss the dam. It is an astounding piece of engineering, in the middle of a desert that did not have water or power or paved roads. All of that had to be installed first. After that take the I 93 to Williams. The bridge next to it is one of the tallest in the U. about 800 ft. and it is open for sightseers. No charge. Keep going on the 93 until you reach Williams AZ. From there take the 64 N. for about an hour. The rim is inside a National Park which is a fee area per car. Year passes are available if you plan to visit more parks. I usually stay at the South Rim for a couple of nights. It is well worth it.
