I'm just organising a multi centre trip to the US and I am spending 5 nights in Vegas and then I am going to drive to the Grand Canyon and stay 1 night there. I believe you can get to route 66 to from the GC but just wondering how as the driving directions from Vegas all take me to the North Canyon. I know that route 66 is south of the Canyon so how would you join it and how long would it take?
Finally where would be a good midway point to stay for 1 night on route 66 before leaving for LA the next day?
We are visiting Las Vegas in December for 6-7 nights and we want to do the GC as well as Hoover Dam.
I'm starting with a blank, I know it can be done in a day on a tour as I am a UK travel agent and book this often but we prefer to self drive - hate buses and my son is Autistic so doesn't do well with group travel. We can stay overnight if need be but we are not into hiking so the easiest way to get to the best views is the best idea! I believe that there is a viewing platform made from glass? Is this worth a shot?
If we stay over night we could possibly do 2 areas of the Canyon, is this a good idea? Is there anything else in the area?
Finally if we don't self drive is the helicopter worth doing from Vegas? Or even the helicopter from the canyon itself? Is is likely to be busy during these dates?
How long is the drive and if overnighting is it OK to combine it with Hoover Dam?
Any advice would be great!
Does anyone have first-hand experience (good or bad) with any of the outfitters offering overnight trips in Canyon de Chelly? I will be there in early October 2012, and an overnight in the canyon is something I'm starting to look into. Thanks!
I'm going to Canyon de Chelly in April - thought I'd stick around for a day. Any good hikes? Restaurants? Motels? Other tips?
Which is the best mode of transportation from Chinle to Grand Canyon? Is it advisable to rent a car from Chinle? We would like to visit the Grand Canyon and ending at Las Vegas? Appreciate any suggestions.
I'll be visiting the park this upcoming March and I want to do both the north and south rim drives. On my map of Arizona it looks like highway 7 runs along the south rim to Chinle and then highway 64 runs along the north rim from Chinle to Tsaile. Are these the rim overlook drives or do you first have to enter the park at chinle to to access the drives?
I would like to go to the beautiful Canyon de Chelly again. This time I would like to ride into it on a horse. Has anyone done that before? Does anyone know web sites with infos about 'Horseback Riding in the Canyon de Chelly'?
