What's included in Grand Canyon South Rim Full-Day Self-Guided Tour

(Subject to Option Inclusions)

Itinerary

Flagstaff
Pass-by Only

Set out with the rising sun (or before!) to make the most of your all-day Grand Canyon adventure. Pass through Ponderosa Pine Forests as you make your way to the Rim of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Mather Point
Pass-by Only

There are many benefits to getting to the Grand Canyon early, but seeing the sunrise over Mather Point might just be the best. Park in the lot (there should be plenty of spaces), and walk over to Mather Point for a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. It gets chilly, even in the summertime, so be sure to bring a warm jacket.

Yavapai Geology Museum
Pass-by Only

After drinking in the beauty of Mather Point, walk less than a mile (0.7 mi/1.1 km, to be exact) along the flat, paved Rim Trail to the Yavapai Geology Museum. Here you’ll learn more about the geology of the Grand Canyon through interpretive panels and a topographical relief map of the entire canyon. The museum used to be the Yavapai Observation Station, so it offers some of the best panoramic views you’ll see all day. Be sure to stop by the gift shop, too!
