When you go to the south rim, you will not only get awe inspiring views of God's handiwork, but you will also meet some great people. We had some servers at the fred Harvey restaurants that really stood out. Lily helped us at the tavern. She is a very hard worker. I wanted to tell her to take five, but I could not catch up to her. Helpful, friendly, polite even under fire. The fred Harvey Cafe has a real gem by the name of Phoenix. He immediately put us at ease and attended to us in a unique manner that we thoroughly enjoyed.

This was our 9th visit to one of the most extraordinary places on earth. The views can only truly be appreciated in person. Neither picture nor film can capture the grandeur of the experience. We will continue to return in the future as the experience never grows old. Phrases like "breathtaking", "spectacular" and "mind-blowing" barely express the actual experience.

Went to visit my grandfather who worked at the Bright Angel Lodge back around 1957. They wouldn't let me take a donkey ride in the canyon because I was too young. But I did walk quite a ways down. What a beautiful sight. And the people were so nice. It's surely one of those places in the U.S. that you need to visit. While you're out that way, don't miss Yellowstone, Petrified Forest and Bryce Canyon.

We enjoyed our visit to the town. It is very conveniently located just a short trip from the South Park Entrance. We arrived in the afternoon and were still able to spend three to four hours in the park having dinner and sight-seeing. The Village is a great location to allow us to get up the next morning, have a bite to eat and still get to our 9:30 AM bike tour with plenty of time to spare.

We stayed at the El Tovar, so we wandered the area a bit over a couple of days. There are excellent views. It is a bit busy at all times. A few of the lodges could use a little TLC and a few are pretty dated looking, architecture wise. The Thunderbird is downright ugly. They could use some better food options. El Tovar is cool and we enjoyed walking around Bright Angle Lodge. Go check out the Train Station too.

These are breathtaking photos of the Grand Canyon South Rim. We are in the Grand Canyon Village just west called the Yavapai Point. You can actually see the Colorado River from this point. Extremely beautiful viewpoints for photography and they do have a geology museum there.

Just returned from a 12 day road trip with 2nights at Maswik Lodge in Grand Canyon Village. Paid more than staying in Tusayan for the location but you need to get up early or late to appreciate the canyon in the peace and quiet as it’s unsurprisingly busy, especially when the train arrives! Most hotel accom is walkable to the rim or the free shuttle bus stops outside. One shuttle goes East the other West and runs all day from dawn til dusk. You can hop on and hop off as you like. If you are not hiking into the canyon and just doing the South Rim 2 days is ample to get to all the lookouts. Good dinner choices sadly lacking. Bus drivers could do with being more informative.
