The South Rim has a variety of overlooks, along with historical architecture dating back to the early 1900s. There are also free shuttle buses that run every 10-15 minutes daily and are available to take you from point to point.

Shuttle bus info: www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/shuttle-buses.htm

Please note, if you are self-driving, admission into the park requires an entrance fee. Find more detailed information here: www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/fees.htm

Subscribed to your channel and ready enjoyed your video! I've been to The Grand Canyon back in '88 when we were coming back home to Oklahoma after our visit with my Daddy's brother and family in Visalia Ca. It was beautiful! Won't ever get to go back to see it again because, I'm handicap and have no way.

does the Grand Canyon Vehicle fee cover everyone's entry into the park? I am seeing where it says $30 per vehicle and everyone in car up to 4
@badboytilltheend13 1 year ago

Hello. Do you think we can cover everything you mentioned in this video in a day?
@jimbike8064 1 year ago

So, is it worth taking a tour from Vegas where you're at the Canyon for 3 or 4 hours? Seems like you'd need at least a whole day.
