    Tusayan is the town with the shuttle in case someone didn't know how to spell it
  • I have been to the south rim 3 times. It is my favorite place I have ever been. Each time we went, we drove from Flagstaff. One time, we did stay in a lodge on the rim. That was awesome because we were able to watch the sunrise. Everyone should go to the South rim of the Grand Canyon at least once in their life!
  • The train is so fun with the actors on board. They are so fun and great! Been there three and going again next month! Never enough time.
  • We stayed at the KOA in Williams on the 64 near the 40 freeway. Great location, small cabins affordable camp spots or rv ! Our grandkids loved it! There is also another one a little east of 64.
