The Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular geologic sites in the world. Looking for a chance to upgrade our photo coverage, we returned in early May 2022. Entering the East Gate we took the Desert View Drive into the Canyon. This is the only road in the Grand Canyon open to private vehicles, there is no shuttle bus service! The Drive offers 23 miles of the Eastern Canyon that many visitors never see!
If you plan to go, stay inside the park. Reservations are a must, book well in advance. We stayed in the Maswik Lodge. Two queen beds, bathroom with sink in the dressing area, small fridge, flat screen TV, deck and air. Only a short walk to the Canyon Rim and Village, the Maswick is nestled in a quiet, mature pine grove. All of the lodges have a food court, reservation, tour and information desk and souvenir shop.
There is a wide variation in temperature and the sun is strong at this elevation. So be prepared for the weather. A hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a lite backpack, water and waterproof wind breaker will work.
