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!
We'll be traveling with our 17 month old daughter to Tucson, staying with family towards the end of May. We will also be staying for two nights in Sedona. We plan to drive around a lot and see the Grand Canyon, but I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for places to see with a toddler (give me strength!). It doesn't have to be kid-focused, but perhaps parks or areas where little toddlers can run around and let off steam. I'm just starting to do research about this trip now so am really open to any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance!
My family (2 kids 8 & 9) and I will be visiting Grand Canyon end of February 2009. I was considering a side trip to Lake Powell and specifically Rainbow Bridge. I was worried that it may be too cold on the lake to enjoy the beauty the lake has to offer. I would like to know what you think? Thanks in advance.
My husband and I are considering a visit to Rainbow Bridge. We are interested in the one day boat trip. However, we have received conflicting information regarding the length of the hike from the boat to the Bridge. We have been told it is anywhere from 1/2 mile each way to 2 miles each way. The boat only stops for 1 1/2 hours and we were concerned that the necessary hike would take up most of this time. We would like to spend more than a few minutes at the bridge. Can anyone clarify this for us? Any information is appreciated.
