Where to stay outside Grand Canyon Park?
We are moving from the Ga to the Wa. We thought that it would be nice to make the Grand Canyon park of the road trip. however we didn't realize it when we were planning, but we would be moving memorial day weekend.
Our plan was to leave Ga Friday. Make it to Oklahoma and stay with relatives Friday and Saturday night. Leave their house Sunday morning and have the Grand canyon be Sunday nights destination. Spend Monday at the park, and then spend Tuesday and Wednesday driving up to Wa.
Being that we are hitting the park on Memorial day all the lodges and camp groups inside the park are booked up. So I'm curious to know if there are any recommendations of places to stay outside the park?
Also any recommendation on what to do? Must see points? places to eat?
DS1 is only 9 months, so no donkey rides. I have a feeling his stroller would not be very particle, would a Bjorn be sufficient or do you think a back carrier would be better?
