Grand Canyon??
Hey good folks, We would like to stop by the Grand Canyon this summer and maybe without a toad. If we don't have a toad are car rentals available at the Grand Canyon? Also, how about RV parks? ...

The North Rim is where we prefer to go now.
However, if it's your first visit, definitely go to the South Rim. It has a lot more to do and a bigger area to cover. Most tourists like the busy aspect of the South Rim - perhaps giving them an 'amusement park' type of experience. This is also where the tourist buses drop off hoards of people for a quick look-see. If you do go to the South Rim try to schedule it in Oct/Nov or April/May for a little less congestion. Even the winter months can be awesome and Trailer Village RV in the park will be open. Snow at the canyon is a beautiful experience.
The North Rim is so refreshingly quiet. It's a place to just relax and take in the beauty. There is one Lodge for fine dining and some cabins and a small campground - no hookups. It has some nice hiking but it's geared for a very quiet time. It also has a shorter season because of the higher elevation. It's nice and cool in the summer. It opens in May and closes in October.
