South Rim, Grand Canyon

The most developed area of Grand Canyon National Park, the South Rim offers amenities such as bus service, hotels and water stations, but is also more crowded than the North Rim. Scenic highlights include Pipe Creek Vista and Yavapai Point.

Reviews

Great service and local boat captains. Troy was great! They can take you up to 15 miles up river to kayak back down and any distance in between. It’s a very unique experience.
