I've only been on the south rim, which since I've been there, I believe has added the glass walkway out over the Canyon for a thrill! The time of day changes the shadows and colors all through the day. I hope you will be able to spend some time while there. The awesome place is taking the road out of Flagstaff and down through to Sedona that is an extremely curvy and winding road down through but the colors and views are out of this world! Of course, Sedona is so very special that it is hard to drive while rubber necking at all the marvelous views! You are IN the canyon looking up at the Red Rock formations which is the opposite of the G. C.!!!!

Enjoy your trip,
Hugs,

I went to enjoy the sunrise at South Rim and it was wonderful, I was there in February so there was some snow on the ground.

We were at the south rim just a few weeks ago. A gentleman from Spain was having trouble getting around. He didn't speak English and his niece who did speak English got sick and backed out of the trip last minute. He really wanted to see the glass balcony so I asked the guide about it. She said it was 5-1/2 hours west on the Indian reservation; not actually part of the national park. He had just come from Las Vegas but was willing to back track just to see it.

South Rim has a lot of tourists.
North Rim you can walk down into much easier. And at the North Rim if you have time take in Bryce and Zion. Plus its closer to you.
Be sure to play in Lake Mead before you go to the Hoover Dam. Feed the giant carp some popcorn. Super fun for kids.

I am going to be in Las Vegas next month and I was considering a tour to the Grand Canyon

Keep an eye out for Cindy Brady who got lost there awhile back : )

Thank you everyone. I found a tour to the South Rim at a fairly good price. I am actually looking forward to this. The Grand Canyon is on my "bucket list" . . . so next week check!
