Las Vegas to Grand Canyon trip The drive from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon will take at least 11 hours so you can do it in 1 day, though you will need an early start and enough stamina to drive for all those hours. I'd suggest leaving Las Vegas at 7 in the morning for best sightseeing, and for having enough time to drive around, peer over a few overlooks and take some photos.
As far as North or South rims, the North Rim is my personal favorite as it's far less crowded than the south, it has the better views, and Zion National Park is on the way so it's an added bonus. |
