It's all but impossible to give an idea of just how big the Grand Canyon is, you really need to see it to get the idea. Plan on spending at least the better part of a day here, even if all you do is go from one observation point to the next, spending only a few minutes at each. Shuttle buses make that a lot easier. Hiking makes it a lot slower.

The Grand Canyon is located 59 miles north of Williams on Highway 64. Or 81 miles northwest of Flagstaff via Highways 180 and 64. If you have a Disability Sticker or Disabilty License Plate from your state, be sure and ask for a Scenic Drive Accessibility Permit which allows entry for visitors with mobility issues to drive to some areas otherwise closed to public traffic. The permit is available at entrance gates, National Park Service visitor centers and hotel lobbies.

You can take the Grand Canyon Trains which leaves from Williams. They have one daily train each way.
