What’s the best way to get there?
There are several ways to get to the South Rim. Driving is the slowest method, and the journey can take up to five hours. Basically, you’ll follow Hwy. 93 south to the I-40. Then you’ll head east on the I-40 to Hwy. 64, which you’ll take north all the way to the South Rim. This isn’t a bad option if you have a lot of time available and like to drive long distances. But if you have time constraints, Maverick Airlines offers flights directly to the South Rim from Las Vegas. They depart from the nearby Henderson Executive Airport and take only 40 minutes. These flights are combined with a variety of awe-inspiring sightseeing options—including ground transfer to the Grand Canyon National Park and 25- to 45-minute helicopter tours through the Dragon Corridor, which pass over the Kaibab National Forest and above the widest and deepest part of the canyon.
