Easy Grand Canyon Planning Guide in 2021

If you’re looking to plan a last minute Grand Canyon trip this Fall, this guide is all you need to know! From best photo spots to all your options for last minute accomodation!

Before I begin, you should know that the Grand Canyon and many of the US National Parks are very popular right now due to the increase in domestic travel. Although Fall usually isn’t a busy season, there is a chance it will be crowded and many places will be booked, but it’s not impossible to make it happen!

That being said, please also be advised that traveling during the pandemic is to be done at your own risk. You should always keep a safe distance from others, wear a mask, and wash your hands frequently!

Thinking of doing a longer roadtrip? Check out my most shared post: 10 Best Stops on an Arizona/Utah Roadtrip!

Another Disclaimer: This post is in collaboration with Hotels.com, but all information and tips are my own!

South Rim VS. North Rim

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the part that is the most visited. It’s also the easiest to access, walk, and explore. It is open year-round, 24 hours a day. Currently the only entrance into and out of Grand Canyon National Park is through the South Rim.

For the adventurous souls, the North Rim is a lot harder to access and a lot higher in elevation (7000 feet above sea level). Right now there are only day-trips permitted to the North Rim. It is also closed from December to May due to weather hazards.

AKA, you’ll want to go to the South Rim.

How to Get to the Grand Canyon (South Rim)

How to get to the Grand Canyon

How you get to the Grand Canyon will of course depend on where you’re coming from! I started in Los Angeles, drove to Vegas, then drove straight East to the Grand Canyon.

If you’re not already in the Pacific Coast or Midwest, you may need to fly to a nearby city to rent a car and drive over. I would suggest either Flagstaff, Arizona or Las Vegas.

Once you’re in the area, simply follow your GPS to the park and then decide if you want to attempt parking in it or take the free shuttle.

Where to Park

where to park at the grand canyon

As I mentioned, you can try to park inside of the National Park, especially in low season (November-February). But if you go in high season, or if the parking is full, you can easily park farther away and take the free shuttle.

Checkj the Free Shuttle Bus schedule for times and more information. You’ll park and board it in the Grand Canyon Village Area.

How to Buy Your Park Pass

I would highly suggest buying your digital park entrance pass online before you go to the Grand Canyon!

It’s only $35 per vehicle and valid for 7 days! It also covers everyone traveling in the vehicle! There is limited connectivity at the Grand Canyon so be sure to download it BEFORE you set off!

The entrance fee is also waived on the following days! :

  • Jan 20, 2020: Martin Luther King, Jr Day
  • Apr 18, 2020: First Day of National Park Week / National Junior Ranger Day
  • Aug 5, 2020: Great American Outdoors Act Commemoration
  • Aug 25, 2020: National Park Service Anniversary
  • Sep 26, 2020: National Public Lands Day
  • Nov 11, 2020: Veterans Day

Where to Stay In / Near the Grand Canyon

camping in the grand canyon national park

You have a few options for accommodation. Well, depending on how last minute you plan, and the season! As I mentioned before, Fall is low-season, so you should be able to snag a nice lodge for a good deal!

If you’re looking for a lodge, try first to look in Grand Canyon Village. It’s closer to the entrance of the park, and it also has the free shuttle to the entrance! There’s also a few RV/camping parks there.

Otherwise try Tusayan, which is just south of Grand Canyon Village!

If you’d like to camp in a tent inside the park, you can search for spots, make a reservation and buy a pass here. (Note: these are very hard to get and usually must be done in advance).

Best Photo Spots in the Grand Canyon (South Rim)

best photo spots in the grand canyon

As you can probably imagine, there is a never-ending list of “best photo spots in the Grand Canyon”! If you just walk along the South Rim Trail (or take the free shuttle) you will get to all of them in a few hours! Take your time, plan to stay the whole day, and bring plenty of water!

Here’s some of the best viewpoints, that I have also labeled on the map below! Feel free to screenshot or download it to use for when you’re there!

  • Mather Point
  • Yavapai Point
  • Lipan Point
  • Maricopa Point

  • Samarkand the second time was even more magical! Since I went here last year, they’ve now started doing these “flying dress” photoshoots at Registan Square for around $67, which was definitely worth it! Go super early (6:30-8) to avoid anyone in your photos AND to avoid annoying other travelers trying to take photos 😬 We also got a few group pics with the Travel Tribe! It’s definitely been extremely fun being here a second time with them!! Photography company tagged as a collaborator!

  • Kyrgyzstan is rising in popularity as a unique travel destination and its easy to see why! From the beautiful nature to the well preserved culture, plus being extremely safe, it really makes it an ideal destination, but definitely expect some logistical hurdles 😁 Horseback riding in Chon Kemin and visiting Ala Archa National Park are a must! That's also where we learned about the Golden Eagles, a centuries old tradition practiced by their nomad culture that is still done today, mostly to continue keeping the traditions alive and teaching visitors about it. Do you want to visit Kyrgyzstan? ------ I'm currently hosting a custom created "luxe-adventure" through the 5 Stans of Central Asia with my group adventure community @mylifesatraveltribe! This trip is in high demand so if youd'd to join one of them, please follow there and sign up for our notifications email list linked on the bio, as we dont publicly announce or send out our itineraries. 😁

  • I was one of the last foreigners permitted in Virunga National Park in D.R. Congo before it was closed due to many armed and dangerous groups occupying it. That experience was one of the most memorable ones in my life, and part of why I’ll always say DRC is one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to (4 times). But DRC is also one of the most corrupt countries, with some of the most horrific ongoing atrocities committed on the local Congolese people, the environment, and the animals by greedy, heartless humans. Deforestation, illegal mining for minerals used to make your electronics, and destruction (plus human abuse) are a part of why the animals there suffer. Poaching for bushmeat and to steal baby primates to sell as pets is another. If you’ve ever seen a primate, especially chimpanzees, kept as a personal pet or on display, its parents were likely killed so it could be kidnapped. UAE and Gulf countries, Thailand, China, Eastern EU countries, and even people in the USA are all guilty of this. That’s why one of the organizations I’ve become an ambassador for in D.R.Congo is @lwiro_primates . Lwiro Primates take in injured, abandoned, and smuggled primates, and they rehabilitate and care for them, even during a time when their own homeland is a very scary please. So I am kindly asking today on World Giving Day for Apes, to send them a donation, or at least share their story or the info in this post. Anything helps, nothing does not. And if you ever see a chimp as a pet, please ask the owner if they’re aware that its parents were likely killed just for it to be kidnapped and forced to be a pet. 😡 The link to the fundraiser is on Lwiro’s page and I’ll share on my Stories! I’ve brought about 100 travelers to D.R.Congo, and they all can attest to what a beautiful and unique place it is. I pray and dream for the day that we can safely return there and bring tourism back.

  • The highlight reel of Skardu, Pakistan! If you'd like the behind the scenes, see my previous posts or the story highlight! But also, yes, it really is this beautiful! Do you like pretty highlight reels or do you prefer the struggle clips? Asking for a friend...who has a lot of both... 😬
  • The Photo VS the Moment in Skardu, Pakistan (wait for the videos after the photo) for anyone who thinks getting photos is easy, behold, freezing water, climbing on rocks, and magical geese who apparently want to be featured in the pics.! (Comment "Skardu" and ill DM you my full travel guide plus how to get notifications for the group trip next year!) What's the wildest thing you've done for a photo?? Thank you Destination Pakistan for the offer to work together and for helping get this footage so I didn't have to always use my tripod or selfie stick!
  • Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque! The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels! Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below! What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??
  • Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather... And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??

Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque! The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels! Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below! What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??

Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather... And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??
