How long does it take to drive from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon?
Driving to Grand Canyon
It takes about 5 hours. I would recommend spending one night at the canyon though. We stayed at the Kuchina Lodge, which is basically right on the rim. Driving towards the canyon was the funniest thing, because I%26#39;m from NY where there are plenty of mountains, and for some reason as we were driving, I wanted to look for mountains, but everything was flat, not realizing the canyons go down, not up. It is the most spectacular thing I have ever seen. It takes your breath away. Well worth the trip.
Driving to Grand Canyon
It is a good five hours each way to the South Rim. It is tough to do a one day trip. The best way to the see the Canyon is by making it an overnight trip. You definately want to visit the National Park on the South Rim. Don%26#39;t get roped into taking a cheaper tour to the West Rim, it is an inferior experience compared to the South Rim.
Book lodging at the GCNP south rim well in advance. The hotels there book as far as a year out.
