@@DirtInMyShoesThank you Ash! We are on the way to the GC today. So excited. Quick question. Where do you recommend we go for authentic Native American jewelry and art shopping?

[@rebeca3907]

I booked a site at Mather campground the day before 😂

[@DirtInMyShoes]

Mather CG is in a great location! I hope you have a great time!

Hi! Can you please tell me when these shuttle times were last verified? Want to make sure everything is accurate before purchasing. Thank you!

[@DirtInMyShoes]

I update the shuttle times every year when the park publishes the new schedule :)

[@woneymalian]

thank you Ash, excellent video!!! One question, if I go there in December is it possible not to enter the park due to snow? I have a reservation for the Bright Angel Lodge in December 23th and I will be driving from Monument Valley

[@chitleenbhatoia1411]

Do you know if we’re able to drive to South Kaibab trailhead and hike up to Ohh Ahh point in December? Google maps says only shuttle buses have access to that road.

Me and my wife went to the South Rim one day and the North Rim the next day. Grand Canyon is awesome.

[@DirtInMyShoes]

It's awesome that you got to see both rims!

@@DirtInMyShoes I found out about you from watching a Great Smoky Mountains National Park video you did. I live in Maryville Tennessee. I live 20 miles from the Townsend Entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Been there 100s of times. God's Country

[@rlp1963]

@@DirtInMyShoes I liked the North Rim better. Both were awesome.

Do you have any tips for going through the 26th of May to the 1st of June? Is Memorial Day really crowded and is it worth going that day?

[@DirtInMyShoes]

It's very crowded that time of year, especially over the holiday weekend. My Grand Canyon Itinerary will definitely help with that though: www.dirtinmyshoes.com/grand-canyon-itinerary/
