If you have only 2 days to visit Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona 🇺🇸, here’s an easy, mostly no-hike way to explore the South Rim without rushing.

STAY :
Highly recommend staying inside the park for quick access to everything. We stayed at 🏡Bright Angel Lodge, and loved how close we were to the rim views.

THINGS TO DO :

🌅 Watch the sunrise at Mather Point

🪨 Learn more about the canyon at Yavapai Geology Museum & enjoy the views next to it.

🚶🏻‍♀️ Take a leisurely stroll along the rim behind Bright Angel Lodge (from Kolb Studio to El Tovar Hotel)

🚌 Check out the best viewpoints along Hermit Road - Trailview Overlook, Maricopa point, Mohave point, Hopi point
(accessible by free shuttle except during winter months)

🚙 Drive Desert View Drive and stop at the overlooks along the way - Grandview point, Lipan point, Moran point, Desert View Watchtower.
(this road ends at the park’s East Entrance)

SAVE this for a future Grand Canyon trip from the East Coast.
