Day 1 - You should arrive
by 2pm at Grandview Point. An afternoon activity is
chosen, usually a scenic bike ride or a short hike
with lots of canyon views. Dinner is early and then
you return to an isolated spot on the rim for sunset,
then back for dessert.
Day 2 - The morning
starts with an early breakfast and packing of lunch
for a longer day hike below the rim on a secondary
trail (away from the mules and crowds). Late afternoon,
you may wish to visit the Village for shopping and
dinner at the Bright Angel Lodge.
Day 3 - The last day
is a more leisurely start, with time to explore the
area near your camp to view painted desert vistas,
climb the fire lookout, spot elk in the woods or explore
historic cabins. Lunch is at camp. Then you are free
to relax or head off as your schedule permits
