I definitely know about Havasupai waterfalls, but I was also interested to see if there are other great places like underground caves.,etc/

If you have a truck or 4 x 4 you definitely want to go to the lodge and restaurand owned by the Halupai indians in Peach Springs. There you can obtain a permit and travel by your vehicle about 20 miles on a gravel/dirt road across their land to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and wade in the Colorado river. There is some absolutely beautiful scenery. If they’ve not had alot of rain you could probably make it in a car. Really need something with ample road clearance as the road is often washed out and rough. It’s the only place you can access the bottom of the canyon by vehicle.

http://grandcanyon.com/gcntours.html If you only have one day to enjoy rafting on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, what do you do? You can take the fantastic Canyon River Adventure tour, the smooth water float trip in Glen Canyon, or the only one day white water tour available from Peach Springs, Arizona with the Hualapai Nation. For multi-day tours, you will need to contact one of the 16 White Water Concessionaires for Grand Canyon National Park.

Take I-10 to Phoenix, take I-17 to Flagstaff, take I-40 to Williams. Would highly recommend the Grand Canyon Railway as a means of transportation from Williams, add a night’s stay in the park, use the free shuttle to get around inside the park and ride the train back to Williams.

Hello!
We’re flying all the way from Italy to visit the grand canyon and monument valley

The plan i’ve in mind is to go from las vegas to page/lake powell through the grand canyon and visit it.

But i don’t know wich part of the Canyon should i visit, the south, west, north canyon? which one you suggest me?

We’d visit for the first day the canyon then stop the night in Page, then the following morning have a trip to monument valley, and then back to page and vegas.

Let me know what you think we should visit on the way, which is the best part of the canyon, i can change my plan and don’t stop in Page if you tell me is better to change the way.

THANKS!!!!!!
We could have deviate to flagstaff and from there go to monument valley… is up to what is best to see…!!
We still have to book everything we can have up to a week…!!! andy a awesome trip you suggested me..!!!!
Hello Andy!

Thanks a lot for your suggestions for our trip!

you gave me a lot of great ideas…!

I explain what I’d after your suggestions:

Day 1. I get to vegas and visit it. any suggestions on what to see?

Day 2. Rent a car (i’m 21 do you think i’ll have problems in renting ?) Drive to Page AZ (4 1/2 hours; 437 km).What can i visit on the way to Page? what stops should i do? I don’t get near the north rim of the grand canyon going to page? Do you suggest a trip to lake powell?

Day 3: Drive to Monument Valley (2 hours; 196 km) Which part of monument valley shoudl I visit? any place in particular? on the way to Flagstaff, AZ (3 hours 277 km) anything I should stop and see?
Sleep in Flagstaff.
Day 4: Drive from Flagstaff to Sedona (1 hour; 48 km) It was suggested to me that it is very nice..! anything in particular? then from there see the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest (I cannot find it on googlemaps though).
Now would you suggest me to sleep somewhere near the grand canyon (budget hotel) or to continue to the Grand Canyon (1 1/2 hours; 142 km from Flagstaff) Visit the North Rim of the Canyon, spend the night and visit the South rim the next day? Any stops in particular to see?

Day 5: Drive to Las Vegas. (4 1/2 hours; 445 km) Spend the night.

Day 6: Drive to Death Valley California (should we travel all the 190 east -death valley scenic boulevard-till any particular stop and then drive back to vegas?) (2 1/2 hours; 277 km).

Day 7: take the greyhound bus to L.A.—–> another trip ahead…

If I may suggest, why not see north and south? You could try Las Vegas to Page, Page to Monument Valley then rather than returning to Page stay in either Cameron AZ or Tusayan and see more of the Grand Canyon. From there back to Vegas. You have an excellent trip planned whichever way you choose. It is ALOT of driving though.
Flagstaff is also an excellent option. There are other places to see near there as well.
I could fill you’re entire week in any one of those areas. How long do you have to stay?
Here are a few links to consider:

Feel free to send an email if you have questions. I’d be happy to answer if I can.

EDIT: Check out carefully the age limits/restrictions/extra charges for car rentals. Some rental companies will not rent to people under 25, most that do will charge a daily fee for being under 25. The fee can significantly increase the cost of the rental.

You certainly can access the North Rim on your way to Page.

The Painted Desert is east of Flagstaff close to the New Mexico border.
