There is about a 14 mile stretch of unpaved road leading to the Grand Canyon West Airport and and the entrance. Private vehicles are not permitted past the entrance and Welcome Center. Visitors must take the Hop-On-Hop-Off Shuttle Bus to the Rim. Entrance Fee Package Options are available at the Welcome Center.

Make sure your vehicle is in good working order with a full tank of gas. Cell phone service is questionable, so make sure to have a hard copy direction routes. If you are coming from Las Vegas, there is a "Park & Ride" at Dolan Springs about 1 hour from Las Vegas.
