Hello, we are looking to visit the Grand Canyon this year, possibly in October. For those of you who have gone, which airport is best to fly into? Vegas or Phoenix? Any tips?

Vegas. Check the weather before going as well.

Dont travel to the US. So much to see in Canada.

Phoenix is about 2 hr to Sedona. Very good spot to start I think. There are a few good spots along the way to Sedona like Montezuma Castle

Vegas. South rim is only a couple of hours drive.

Cathy almost 3 hour drive

We flew to Vegas, stayed a couple of days then rented a "Jucy" van to go the Grand Canyon camping. It was the beginning of April and VERY cold at night. -4°. The Jucy Van is an awesome way to go, but get EXTRA blankets.

It will be cold there in October

We flew into phoenix because we got a way better deal for flights, we went in September of last year and it’s cold at night...also if you are planning to stay overnight the book very fast, we had to adjust our plans in order to get a reservation

We just did an April 20-27 trip. Flew into Vegas, picked up rental and went to Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon. So it depends on flight deals and if you are going anywhere else. Tip: Book now for Grand Canyon. We stayed in the “Historic” cabins at Bright Angel Lodge right on the rim. AWESOME and affordable. Book EARLY! Room was nice - we stayed 2 nights which was ok but 3 would have been better!

The ranger told us the Fall is the nicest time , less busy time to visit, including the North Rim.

Awesome, thank you everyone for all your tips! I've written everything down and will decide based on everyone's comments. You were all a big help.

I flew to Flagstaff. Toured Sedona then up to Grand Canyon.
