Also drive through Sedona on the way to GC... there are plenty of short / day hikes in the area (e.g. Broken Arrow)

I did it in a day but it would have to be an early start on Saturday. Also depends on how fast you hike (Broken Arrow) and how long you stay at the South rim. I had already been several times so I basically went for ~30 minutes and peaced out. Horseshoe is also accessible through sunset and beyond but if you do get there later I would say just hit it up in the morning... the trail to the edge is not well marked and is hard to follow in the dark (even with a headlamp)

Do it!

Hit up the GC South Rim but also don't skip Horseshoe bend a little further north!

Thanks @PWC2! How long would the drive from Phoenix to south rim take plus the broken arrow hike plus the horseshoe? Is a day enough?

^ very long day but doable

Have you done it @EY1? Is the 10 mile hike hard? Don't know how hot it's gonna be at the end of April

Also any recommendations on places to stay?

OP, just learned of its existence last week. It is high on my list now.

@EY1 yeah it looks freaking amazing

Walnut Canyon National Monument, Lenox Trail Hike at Sunset Volcano National Monument. These are near Flagstaff.
