Grand Canyon Trip

True but it all depends on how long you plan to stay. If a typical visitor its in out on same day. The drive to and thru will take a full day, but unless you just have to say you camped there? We parked at Ft Tuthill in Flag last time there and drove to the canyon and visited all the local views and went to the campground stores etc. Nothing really there to hold ya unless you are camoin in the park and really planning on hiking etc. The side trips out of flag are the best if just visiting the canyon. You can go to north rime stay at Jacobs lake fish the colo at lees ferry etc if that is what you plan to do and then not be bothered by all the 'visitors', but at Jacobs lake you are pretty isolated from everything else. It just depends on what the OP actually want to do. A full day trip will include all of the vistas and the visitors center etc. but he can get the same thing out of williams on the train can he not? And it is a day trip I believe also.
