Had a great time it was very knowledgeable Jamie was our driver for our tour (south rim bus tours) very professional and courtesies.
We headed up to Grand Canyon National Park two days after a snow storm. Desert View road was closed because of the storm but the park still had so many amazing views to offer. The rangers were all extremely friendly and helpful. The views and I cannot state this enough were breathtaking. This was my first time at the Grand Canyon and it honestly moved me to tears, truly beautiful.
Speechless at Beaty of this park. Easy access into the park. 35.00 per vehicle for 7 days of entry. Free shuttle service in the park for all 9 stops. They come every 2-3 mins. Staff at the park is friendly and helpful.
Be prepared to wait at least an hour to enter the park. I know it is spring break but so many people entering pstk.
even with snow and cold weather it was an interesting trip,it was worth it, of course it was not crowed like in summer, but the view was something different, took the train from Williams ,Ari , I could't believe that the train will be pack due to the weathers wonderful time
Great time to visit breath taking views but trails into the canyon were snow and ice covered so no hiking unless you are prepared with spiked shoes
