Remember to search and buy the entry tickets before you come. Buying tickets at the gate is always most expensive.

Definitely a must visit. You will love it here. The last shuttle bus leaves at 6:30 PM I believe but it will return from Guano point after sunset. Its a long drive from city & the roads are so quiet and without human to reach here. The road signs should be more bigger and clearer indicating to Grand Canyon West and to Las Vegas or to Phoenix. As there are no mobile phone network available here it is very easy to get lost into the road. No vibrant road sign. Authorities should give a good concern regarding this. If you are clumsy or not cautious enough accidents might happen so be careful always visiting open natural sites. The shuttle bus drivers are very friendly. Take your time to visit the sites & enjoying one of the the natural wonder of the world.
