Anyone advice on visiting Grand Canyon/Antelope? What are some tour companies to use? Staying around downtown PHX and thinking about renting a car for the drive. Other places to see?

I too did the hike down and up in 1 day, but would NEVER recommend it, EVER! My boyfriend and I did it in 5hrs 54 minutes. Arguably our hardest hike to date. D2's description is spot on, and we actually stayed at the Red Feather Lodge, which is a 10 minute drive to the Visitor Center. We paid $35 total, I believe, for the entrance fee, which included parking for car. Enjoy!

Not in excellent shape so definitely not going to hike the whole thing lol!

So I don’t need to make a reservation in advance? I can just drive up that day and pay the entrance fee?

If you've never been to the Grand Canyon and especially if coming from Phoenix stick to the South Rim. There is more to see than the North Rim. Also the transportation provided by buses is excellent so I recommend just parking your car and riding the buses from point to point. There are some points which are not even accessible by Personal Vehicle. There is a Donkey caravan that will take you all the way to the bottom and back again which is awesome. However, it is several hours long and you will need to be in decent shape to hang on the entire time. Certainly easier than hiking to the bottom yourself but still requires some level of physical fitness. If you want to hike but not go all the way to the bottom there are several trails which have look out points and rest stops. You can determine how far you want to go and then turn around and come back. Keep in mind the golden rule of the Canyon "Down is optional, Up is mandatory"

The buses inside the park are operated by the park service. They aren't a tour company. Your entrance fee is your ticket to Ride.

Driving from Phoenix up to the Grand Canyon, be sure to stop in Sedona

For sure! Thank you 🙏🏾

D2: You were crazy attempting to hike all the way down and back again in 1 day. That is nuts man. Absolutely nuts. No one try and replicate that unless you are in fantastic shape and equally crazy.
