RV rental Grand Canyon National Park, AZ: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

First things first: if you’re visiting Grand Canyon National Park, you’ll no doubt want to visit the best viewpoints and snap more than a few photos. The Grand Canyon Visitors’ Center is found on the South Rim and is the spot where most visitors catch their first glimpse of this iconic geological attraction. As you’d expect, it can get quite busy here during peak periods, but it’s the best spot to easily access the edge of the canyon and appreciate just how immense it really is. But there’s much more to do in the park than simply gawp at the canyon with scores of other tourists. So why not explore a little further afield and hike along the Rim Trail? This mostly level trail lets you escape the tourist traps and take in views of the canyon from a variety of angles. There are also several other hiking trails that are well worth exploring. The Grandview Trail is steep in parts and allows you to admire attractions like Coconino Saddle and Horseshoe Mesa. For a real challenge, the North Kaibab Trail leaves from the North Rim and takes you to Roaring Springs, more than 3,000 feet below the rim. This is a very strenuous hike and takes seven to eight hours to complete. Another great way to check out the spectacular scenery is to take a tour along Desert View Drive. Stretching for 25 miles east from Grand Canyon Village to Desert View, this scenic route includes several viewpoints with lovely views of the Colorado River. You can drive it in your RV rental if you wish, or book in for a bus or jeep tour.
