- South Rim is easier to get to and therefore one of the busier areas; arrive early and expect traffic in the summer months or during spring break.
- Take the free shuttle bus around Grand Canyon Village area on the South Rim.
- North Rim lodges are open from May to October. It is much harder to get to and is 8000 feet above ground.
- Keep your gas tank full when driving, using gas stations to fill up on your ride.
