June 2010 Grand Canyon Trip--Need Advice

[suzcruz]

hi, my DSis is planning a driving trip starting from the Grand Canyon, driving to Monument Valley, and then going to Vegas. I would like info as to what to do, and where to eat/stay along the way, TIA!

Will you be at the South Rim? Or the North Rim?

Camping, or do you need to stay in hotels?

the south rim & they will be staying in hotels, i appreciate your help!

Just outside the Park on the south side there are a number of hotels.

That would be cheaper than staying at the lodge inside the park.

hotels.com lists 4 of them

They are pretty close to the Canyon.

I'm not sure it would be worth staying anywhere between the Canyon and Vegas, it's a one day drive. Unless they wanted to see something out of the way.
