Activity itinerary

Flagstaff (Pass by)
Set out with the rising sun (or before!) to make the most of your all-day Grand Canyon adventure. Pass through Ponderosa Pine Forests as you make your way to the Rim of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Mather Point (Pass by)
There are many benefits to getting to the Grand Canyon early, but seeing the sunrise over Mather Point might just be the best. Park in the lot (there should be plenty of spaces), and walk over to Mather Point for a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. It gets chilly, even in the summertime, so be sure to bring a warm jacket.
Yavapai Geology Museum (Pass by)
After drinking in the beauty of Mather Point, walk less than a mile (0.7 mi/1.1 km, to be exact) along the flat, paved Rim Trail to the Yavapai Geology Museum. Here you’ll learn more about the geology of the Grand Canyon through interpretive panels and a topographical relief map of the entire canyon. The museum used to be the Yavapai Observation Station, so it offers some of the best panoramic views you’ll see all day. Be sure to stop by the gift shop, too!
Grand Canyon Village (Pass by)
Continue following the paved Rim Trail for another mile and a half, and you’ll end up right in front of the historic El Tovar hotel in the heart of the historic Grand Canyon Village! Be sure to stop and drink in the breathtaking views of the Canyon along the way.

El Tovar Hotel (Pass by)
Take a gander at the first luxury hotel built on the South Rim in 1905. No two rooms are the same in this beautiful historic hotel.

Bright Angel Lodge (Pass by)
Built in 1935 as a "moderately priced" alternative to the luxury El Tovar, Bright Angel Lodge offers: historic rooms cozy cabins two restaurants a gift shop, and instant access to the South Rim
Maswik Lodge (Pass by)
Maswik Lodge was the Canyon's first "motor lodge" in 1927. Today it offers 280 affordable rooms in the heart of the Grand Canyon Village. Be sure to pick up some yummy fudge from the gift shop!
Mule Barn (Pass by)
The canyon’s other early essential transport, mules have been part of the Grand Canyon experience for as long as there have been tourists. Even if you don’t have a ride scheduled, walking by and seeing them up close is a worthwhile experience.

The Watchtower itself can be toured; there are informational exhibits, a small gift shop, and a viewing area on the ground floor. The tower is occasionally open for tours and exploration as well, and it houses a large collection of Hopi and Navajo art. When you’re through, stop at the memorial plaque for the 1956 TWA crash site. Head over to the gift shop to browse actual art and pottery from local artists, and finish the afternoon off with a cone from the ice cream parlor.
Little Colorado River Overlook
  • 1h
Don’t skip this one! The Little Colorado River Gorge Overlooks are part of the Navajo Nation, so you may be asked for a small donation that goes directly to the Navajo tribe. Before hitting the short, mostly flat, 8-mile trail to the gorge overlook, stop by the Navajo vending stalls!
