Grand Canyon without a toad?
How necessary is it to have a car when visiting the Grand Canyon from the south side? Thanks-- Mick

There is a problem finding a place to park as there is only a few hundred spots and thousands trying to get one. best bet is stay in Williams or park at the train station in Williams then ride the train to the canyon. Then ride the shuttles to all the vantage points.
I disagree with this advice. There is only 1 train a day and you only have about 3 - 4 hours at the canyon. That limits how far you can go on the shuttles. If you plan to stay overnight this is not a problem but if you have never been to the canyon, there is a lot to see and 3 or 4 hours is not enough time. There is a campground right at the canyon and a good way to see the area is to camp for a couple of nights and take the shuttles one way and then the next day, do the opposite.
