Contiki FAQ Grand canyon

Q: On the Contiki Grand southern what is the Lodge like at the grand canyon.
A: The lodge is where you stay. It is in the park itself. It is kind of set out like a motel. There is a bit of a walk to the shop, restaurant, cafe and bus stop. However it is a nice walk to get there. Essentially it is just your group staying around the area.

Q: Do you get to do many walks in the grand canyon during the grand southern?
A: There is no planned group walk. You are free to do what ever walk you want to do. There is a full free day here. Yes there are a number of optionals on that day, but if you were up to it, then it is easy to do a walk. There are busses going around the park, they are free and go in a loop. Find a bus and get off at a point where you want to do a walk.


Q: In Kanab near the Grand canyon, how long does it take to get there?
A: To get to the grand canyon takes about 1hr, 45 mins, but you cross over a state border that looses time, so although you left kanab at 8am, by the time you get there it is about 8.45am.

Q: At the grand canyon is the north rim any different to the south rim?
A: Only the views are different as well as the various walks. However the south rim gets more tourists, so it is crowded, but there is slightly more things to do.


Q: In the grand canyon with contiki, do i have time to walk into the canyon itself?
A: No, to walk to the bottom and back would take longer then you have, best to do part of the track and come back up.

Q: At the grand canyon north, what is the restaurant like?
A: The restaurant has a variety of meals from burgers to pasta. The food is tasty and fairly cheap. It also has good views of the canyon. It is also not that crowded.
