Visiting a second time will allow people to find stuff they may have missed and will allow people who missed the first trip to see it.

Sleep somewhere on the way, 4h drive from Santa Fe (arrival 10-11pm) – we don’t know yet exactly where but it should not be hard to find a hostel or something. Get up early on Saturday and reach Grand Canyon before noon (2:30h-drive). It’s 30$/car to enter the park. Using our car and a shuttle bus we can access all the viewpoints (some are not accessible by car). We can also do some hiking! Sleep somewhere midway between Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon (1h-drive) Get to Antelope Canyon (early morning, 1h-drive). 40$/person for the tour (4x4 truck, lasts aprox. 1 hour). Then there is also a river trip in the Colorado river from Glen Canyon dam to Lees Ferry (raftthecanyon.com -90$/person) These are options we should discuss, as they are expensive. Otherwise we can look for nice trails nearby to hike. Go back to St. John’s (6h drive) Places where to sleep have not been decided yet, we would like to know who would be interested before booking, so that we can find lodging for everyone. We have checked some Motel 6 where there are double queen bed rooms (two beds, four people) that are fairly economical. Let us know if you are interested, as we should meet as soon as possible to book the accomodation!
