The Grand Canyon is larger than the state of Rhode Island and an entire mile deep. It\u2019s HUGE! As you draw close to the edge of the rim, it\u2019s easy to get insane vertigo, it\u2019s a long, long, long way down.<\/p>\n

This itinerary is for the traveler who wants to see more – far more – than you can get from a bus tour stopping by from another state, but hasn\u2019t quite reached backcountry hike status yet.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the perfect way to ease into hands-on travel, or maybe not easy, since you\u2019ll likely be sore afterward!<\/p>\n

Note: I like to travel fast, so this itinerary is a full 3-day itinerary, absolutely jam-packed with activities. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to take it a little slower, I\u2019d recommend spreading this itinerary out over 4 or even 5 days! Some bonus options are included at the bottom in case you want to add in some extra sights.<\/p>\n

Here is my 3-day Grand Canyon south rim itinerary, true to what my friends and I tackled a few months ago.<\/p>\n
