Air Service
Commercial air carriers serve Las Vegas, Nevada, Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona. 

There is limited air service into the Grand Canyon Airport (10 miles / 16 km south of the park) from Las Vegas and elsewhere. All scenic air tours are based outside of Grand Canyon National Park. Both fixed-wing and helicopter tours of the Grand Canyon region are offered daily.

For those of you planning on flying your plane to the Grand Canyon Airport, the Arizona Department of Transporation has airport information at: http://gcr1.com/5010web/airport.cfm?Site=GCN

 

North Rim

There is no longer an airstrip on the North Rim of the park. (that means that the North Rim village may only be reached by road.)

SUMMER HEAT MAY RESTRICT TRAIL ACCESS  

Did You Know?
During the summer months temperatures within the Grand Canyon are extremely high. Plan your day so you are not hiking between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Take a break near shade and water to avoid the worst heat of day. Enjoy a predawn start and a late afternoon finish.
