Grand Canyon National Park and the Grand Canyon West Rim are two distinct experiences, although both offer stunning views of the canyon. Grand Canyon National Park is managed by the National Park Service and is located on the South Rim and North Rim of the canyon. The National Park offers the most iconic views and is developed with various visitor centers, lodges, and campgrounds and offers a wide range of activities and tours. Suppose you're visiting with your family or a group of people, in that case, Grand Canyon National Park is more affordable as they charge per vehicle entrance fee and don't require you to pay any additional tour costs, unlike the West Rim which is ran by the Hualapai Tribe. If you're seeking the classic national park experience with hiking options, historical and geological learning opportunities, and a wide variety of amenities, visit the official Grand Canyon National Park.

South Rim Hotels & Lodging
The South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park is the most visited rim and is accessible year-round. Grand Canyon visitors who come to the South Rim often find Grand Canyon hotels and lodging in Williams, Flagstaff, Sedona and Tusayan See Grand Canyon South Rim Info »
First, decide how long you want to spend at the Grand Canyon. Most visitors only need enough time to view the Canyon, take some pictures and maybe a short walk or hike. If this sounds like your plan, one day is enough and you might want to stay in a nearby town such as Flagstaff or Sedona where there are other entertainment and dining options.
South Rim Tours
Going on a Grand Canyon tour is highly recommended. As spectacular as the Grand Canyon is to see it's equally spectacular in its detail. Grand Canyon helicopter tours, guided hikes, ground tours and the famous Colorado River rafting trips are all worth the time and money. Knowledgeable tour guides provide insight and perspective on just how special this Natural Wonder of the World really is and what makes absolutely unique. South Rim tours often leave from Williams, Flagstaff and Sedona depending on the tour you take. There are also helicopter tours from the West Rim that go to the South Rim leaving from the Las Vegas area. Whatever you decide, make sure to take a little extra time to take a tour. It'll make your trip that much more worthwhile.

A visit to Grand Canyon's North Rim is well worth forfeiting the choices available amongst dozens of motels and hotels one finds on the South Rim. In fact, its remoteness is precisely what attracts many visitors to the North Rim in the first place. Staying overnight in Grand Canyon North Rim lodging could certainly mean booking a stay at the historic Grand Canyon Lodge & Cabins, but be sure to plan about a year in advance if this is your vacation itinerary. See Grand Canyon North Rim Info »
North Rim Hotels »North Rim Tours
The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park offers a distinctly different experience to the visitor. Rather than spectatorship, most North Rim visitors opt to hike the Grand Canyon, go whitewater rafting on the Colorado River or book ever-popular Grand Canyon mule rides. Here, you'll be able find experienced Grand Canyon guides that will take you deep into the decidedly more remote North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, empowering you to dwell within its walls rather than just see it from behind a guardrail, get up close and personal with the Grand Canyon in a more active way: hiking or backpacking trips and Colorado River rafting trips. Look for tours of Grand Canyon National Park North Rim departing from Lees Ferry, Flagstaff, Page, southern Utah or Las Vegas.

The Briar Patch Inn features 19 cabins situated on 9 lush acres in Oak Creek Canyon, just 3 miles north of Sedona. Each individual cabin is dressed in distinctly different southwestern decor.

Healthy, bountiful, homemade breakfasts are offered by the creek in spring and summer and by the lodge fireplaces in fall and winter. An attentive, longtime staff strives to provide a quality of fine service that is the hallmark of this "magical" sanctuary. A Fodor's Choice and a Frommer's favorite.
