Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Grand Canyon tips anyone?

[Scott Saidel (Ferrarisimo]

I have not been, but wouldn't miss the sky walk that the indian's built a few 
years back if I were going.  It extends out over the rim and you can look down 
through the glass floor over the edge.

Crazy shit!!!

Stewart,
    I took the mule ride down (and back up) the canyon.  Wife and I were 
thinking of staying down at Phantom Ranch, but upon investigation it wasn't 
going to be as small a crowd there as we had hoped, so we didn't do that.  Now, 
there might be an age limit on the mule ride, don't know, but it was very 
interesting.  I don't think I ever lost the fear of going downhill since I took 
it back in the mid 90s.  Get a copy of "The Man Who Walked Through Time" and 
both of you read it, great book and made me wish I could trek the canyon the 
way he did.  Written by Colin Fletcher, here are the ISBNs:

ISBN-10: 0679723064
ISBN-13: 978-0679723066

All the best,

hi all, 



i am taking my 11-year old son down to vegas next weekend for chinese new year 
and also taking a couple of days to see the grand canyon. 



it is shameful of me i know but i have never been to the grand canyon.  would 
any of you offer some tips to us?  for example - 



1. go to the north rim?  or the south?  

2. is it a one-day visit?  or should i stay a night? 

3. any "must-sees"?  like caverns and stuff.. 

4. nice place to eat? lizardburger? 



just fyi, we will be flying in to vegas and renting a car to drive there.  
after the visit, we would need to drive back to vegas, return the car, and fly 
home. 



i know some of you are thinking why i don't go to the web and research - the 
web is full of grand canyon stuff - problem is they are mostly commercial sites 
that try to steer you to patronize them.  so i thought to turn to my friends 
here and get some trusted advices. 



thanks in advance.
