Description
Is the Grand Canyon East Rim worth buying the $250 pass? We visited the Grand Canyon East Rim as part of a larger Southwest road trip, but we had huge expectations that didn't quite match reality.
In this honest Grand Canyon travel guide, we share our experience at Desert View, Navajo Point, Lipan Point, and the Little Colorado River Gorge. We break down the crowds, the new $250 non-resident annual pass surprise, and what we would do differently next time.
The Grand Canyon is still extraordinary, but was the East Rim experience worth it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 👇
