Hi there,
We are planning to drive from Southern CA to Mather camp ground (Grand Canyon) this July. We will stay at Mather camp ground for 2 days. After that, we have another 4 days to wander around before we head home back to Southern CA. Any suggestions on near by places (around 400 miles) we should visit? We are a young family with 3 kids. Thanks
Two Words...North Rim!
Besides being cooler than the South Rim, it's a completely different experience. Rather than being in the crowds of the South Rim, there's more of a rustic feel. There's the North Rim CG inside the park, as well as bookdocking and other places to camp outside the park. There's sights to see there, some great hiking, and the views are quite different from the South Rim. The kiddos might enjoy seeing the Navajo Bridge on the way there, some terrific views there as well as the historical information.
