You can see the Grand Canyon area in many ways: on a guided tour, on a custom tour, by air, on foot, on muleback or horseback, by motorcoach, on smooth-water floats, or via a white-water adventure.
In some cases, you’ll need to plan ahead (way ahead for river expeditions, mule trips, or popular backpacking destinations), but even if you get the urge to take a tour after your bags are already unpacked, you’ll have several options.
A good place to start is at one of the transportation desks located around Grand Canyon Village. Think of the transportation desk as a concierge service focusing on tours. You’ll find them at Canyon View Information Plaza and in Maswik, Bright Angel, and Yavapai Lodges.
The transportation “concierge” can describe tour options and help you make reservations. Desk hours vary seasonally.
If you’re not interested in a tour and just want to get from place to place, the South Rim’s free shuttle system is an excellent alternative to driving (and parking).
