Driving from Lake Powell, Arizona to the Grand Canyon takes about 6.5 hours.
We entered through the East entrance of Grand Canyon National Park which was amazing.

It’s a 25-mile drive from the entrance to the beginning of the canyon.

The drive is through an amazing forest with wildlife everywhere right up next to the road.

Speaking of ancient history…

We stayed at the Yavapai Lodge, which may have been last remodeled when the Grand Canyon was formed.

Or you can stay at the El Tovar.
Just remember to keep telling yourself that the Grand Canyon experience is not about the lodging and you’ll be just fine!
It’s a great experience, a bucket list stop, and glad that we made the trip. Stay tuned for the next stop.
