cheapest getaway to Grand canyon or one day trip

is it better to rent a car n go to the grand canyon for a day and come back. im book at the mgm and although i can get on the tours,they are too long etc and not sure what the ride through the desert is on the way there to the GC.

maybe renting a car and driving and doing things on our own once there is much cheaper?anyone have any advice?

You need to research the subject, you are not mentally prepared for the trip.

Depends how much the tour is and how many in your group.

Driving, I will leave early morning, and either return late in the evening, or better yet, stay the night there.

You will be in the ';Park';, just drive on the road and you will see everything you are suppose to see.

Yes, it is like $20 per car, and they will give you a one day pass, plus the map, so you know what to do

Remember, not much to see and do, once its dark

A one day trip to the GC is not the best way to see it. But if you are going to do it, I would rent a car. If there are two or more of you it will be cheaper than taking a bus tour. It is 4-5 hours each way, so be sure to leave early. Depending on the time of year, your hours of daylight may be limited. You definately want to go to the South Rim. You will be given a map when you enter which will identify the major viewing places. Mather Point and Grand Canyon Village are the most popular. If you want a break from driving, take the free shuttle that goes west from GC Village. It brings you to more viewing points that are not open to private vehicles (at least during peak travel times during the year.) It will be a long day, but well worth it. I think it is a much better way to see the Canyon than buzzing over it for a few minutes in a copter which will cost you a small fortune.
