My girlfriend and I are planning a short trip the Grand Canyon this coming weekend. I was just inquiring as to what else is there to do than stare at the canyon? It's a 5 hour drive or so, so around 10 hours round trip, just want to make sure it's worth it. I heard it's only 2 hour more onto Vegas so we might do that, but I would perfeer to not have the 7 hour drive home. Any suggestions of what to do at the Grand Canyon or other places to visit that are near Phoenix, AZ?

im planning to stay in glendale for 5 days, and get around phoenix for another 2 days, then planning to go to Tucson for another sightseeing. From then, i will travel north, heading to the Grand Canyon. How many hours will it take me to get to the Grand Canyon? Coz right after that, i'll cross Nevada and California as well, and i only have 20 days to make up this tour. Thanks in advance!

Where are planning a trip to camp at the Grand Canyon this summer. I have a 3 and 5 year old. I also would appricate details of what kind of things we can do with small children while at the Canyon. Thank you so much!

I have seven days to split between the grand canyon and zion? How do you recommend splitting the days? More info: we'll be there late april 2008 and plan on hiking with plenty of photography.
