Probably the most popular viewing place in the Grand Canyon and worth it, views are wonderful, maybe a little crowded sometimes to get your pic, but worth a wait Full review by PeterB11369

Went here for a few hours. Stunning scenery in The Grand Canyon. Went here before going on a helicopter ride over The Grand Canyon. Full review by Pollok1

For me, this is the most memorable stop at South Rim. I liked how many colors the hills have. Accessible by frequent shuttle buses. Full review by Jana K

We will be in Las Vegas for an Archery Tournament next month. We wanted to take a ride and see the Grand Canyon. We were looking for something a little closer than the South Rim area/Park Headquarters, a 4 hour drive in a packed car is not fun for any of us. We wanted to get a little closer, perhaps the West Rim, but did not want to go to the Skywalk. Is there any place that is worth seeing, or should we just bite the bullet and drive to the South Rim? Any assistance/guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank You

A friend of mine back east threatened to "kick my butt" if I spent three months in AZ and didn't go see the Grand Canyon. So I took off long before sunrise, driving 5 hrs to get there early in the morning. It was SOOO worth it. OH My GOD YES. It is one of the most beautiful natural wonders I have seen. Mt. McKinley/Denali right there with it. Put up with the drive and GO. I've been to Mather Point and Desert view and all the stops between. Then did it all over again about a month later. Loved both trips. Hope to visit again someday.
My family and have never been to the Grand Canyon and have to drive through this area because we're relocating for work but wanted to make a day stop. Any recommendations where we can go to see the Grand Canyon and take pictures and such without having to buy a tour?

Desert view Tower is worth seeing and easy to get to. Good for a short visit. The Mather Point area is a great place to spend an entire day.. In addition to the canyon views, the visitor center museum is very good as is the Village. There are reasonable priced restaurants and a supermarket. Very family friendly and reasonable if you are on a tight budget. You can get groceries and pick-nick. I went for two days and never paid for a tour. At one point there was a ranger giving a history talk, but it wasn't a paid for tour. I listened and got to ask questions. He had some great rescue stories. People do fall in. Watch the kids. Many places don't have railings, it is a mile deep. Don't get too close to the larger wild animals.
please suggest a nice company for a day tour from las vegas

It's 4-5 hours from Las Vegas to the GCNP so it's really not a "day tour". I'd rent a car, take your time driving there - stop at Hoover Dam on the way. Drive to the area and stay in either Williams or Tusayan. You might get lucky and catch a cancellation at a hotel in the park but they were all booked a long time ago (some more than a year in advance). Depending on how early you start, you'll have time to spend at the park before it gets dark. Then get an early start the next day, leaving in the afternoon to return to Las Vegas.
