Directions to Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park is located in Northern Arizona. Grand Canyon Village (South Rim) is located 60 miles North of Interstate 40 at Williams via Highway 64, and 80 miles Northwest of Flagstaff via Highway 180. Only ten miles from rim to rim as the crow flies, the North Rim is 215 miles (about 4 1/2 hours) from the South Rim by car. Please watch for animals and drive carefully.

Please note that gasoline is only available inside of the park seasonally at Desert View. Gasoline is available year-round, just outside of the park to the south in Tusayan.

Parking near the canyon’s rim, including parking for El Tovar Hotel, Kachina Lodge, Thunderbird Lodge, and Bright Angel Lodge, can be very limited. To best plan your Grand Canyon visit, please click here for additional information on road conditions and Historic Village parking locations.
