Heading to the Grand Canyon has been one of the most thrilling and drama filled experiences I’ve ever had in my RV. It’s definitely been one that I will ALWAYS remember. Don’t get me wrong, the beauty of the Grand Canyon is overwhelming at times, but it’s all been worth it!
This was not your ordinary, State Park kind of a trip. Maybe I should have looked back and remembered the Brady Bunch trip to the Grand Canyon to get me ready? Anyway let me break down the trip for you and give you the inside skinny on things in case you make the drive.
