Tips for Grand Canyon.

Best time to visit Grand Canyon is in Summer. Reason being in a mountain state it's ahead an hour from Vegas and if sunset's by 5:15pm or 5:30pm in Winters you have lost one hr of time because of the time difference. Also being at an elevation of more than 6000 ft it's a lot colder in winter.

One of the places mostly visited is the South Rim. You have many beautiful spots for watching the sun sets. Hopi Point is supposed to be one of the best places for viewing the sunset. But Powell point also gives you some breathtaking views since it's less crowded and you can spend more time taking some photographs with fewer people around. You have trams/buses running every 15 mins to take you to the various points. For more information on various points the map and the shuttle route click here

I personally suggest reaching a day before and stay at the canyon and then you have the entire next day for canyon. If you are planning in months of Nov-Dec plan to take some winter clothing, gloves and caps.
