  South Rim's Grand Canyon Village is the hub of activity for canyon visitors. A variety of accommodations, from historical landmarks, quaint cabins, modern facilities or camping and hookups for RVs, are available. Museums, gift shops, restaurants, mule rides, train rides and other activities are clustered here as well. Yet, it is the spectacular canyon views that bring the visitors back each year. The Visitor Center, which was previously located here, is now across from Mather point.

  - Location
  Added Aug 09, 2009 by TravelMuse Southwest
  
  Nestled into the canyon's edge at Bright Angel Lodge, this facility blends into the landscape, as it provides panoramic views and endless photo opportunities. Designed by architect Mary Colter, it opened around 1914, and was a place where early visitors could warm themselves by the fireplace, shop for postcards and use a telescope to view the surrounding area. Today it continues to offer visitors a bird's eye view of the majestic landscape and a place to shop for rock and fossil specimens, souvenirs, photography artwork and books.

  Tusayan Ruins and Museum
  - Location
  Added Aug 09, 2009 by TravelMuse Southwest
  
  Ruins of a small Anasazi village, dating back to the late 1100s, furnish visitors with a brief history lesson of how some of the early settlers in this area lived. Historians speculate this settlement numbered about 30 people and was in occupation for only a quarter of a century. Although there are an abundance of nearby Anasazi sites, the Tusayan site is the only one with easy access. Paved walking paths wind through the pueblo excavation and there is a small museum. Admission is free. Estimated walking time is 30 minutes.

  Bright Angel Trail
  - Location
  Added Aug 09, 2009 by TravelMuse Southwest
  
  Adventurous visitors to the Grand Canyon who wish to hike down into the spectacular geological wonder can choose from two maintained South Rim hiking routes, one of which is the Bright Angel Trail. This trek is not a spur of the moment endeavor, but a trip the hiker should carefully plan out. Descending 4,000 feet, this eight-mile trip to the Canyon floor takes approximately five hours going down, and nine hours returning. Although this trail is considered the most popular and easiest of the two maintained trails on the South Rim, hikers have rated it "strenuous." This place is open sunrise to sunset.
