![Thumbs Up](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbs up.png) Great trip and photos esp of Monument Valley. I didn't manage to cover this on my very short trip to GC, so one for next time (hopefully). The Navajo tower gives a grand view of the colorado river and the inner canyon.
Didn't see any pics of West Rim which you planned to visit ? Was looking forward to that since I had a tough choice on whether to do the South Rim (and East Rim) or the West Rim, and settled for the former.
One comment (maybe helpful to future tbhpians visiting GC South Rim) - Recommend not to stay at Flagstaff which is quite far from South Rim entrance. Stay at Tusayan just a few miles from the GC entrance (was lucky to figure this out as I was really short of time on my visit). For eg., in this trip itself, here is a alternative path.
North Rim -> Tuasayan (entrance through GC East and through Canyon exit out of South Rim) - maybe 30 minutes longer drive
Tusayan is 80 miles closer to South Rim entrance than Flagstaff, and will save you 1.5 hours of drive (and maybe more if there is more traffic).
If coming from to South Rim directly from Vegas, turn left at Williams and go North To Tusayan.
Cheers,
