We entered from the east side of the park. We decided to leave the RV in the campground after hearing about the road construction and the mile long tunnel that would require an escort and a $13.00 fee (our RV would only fit if we drove down the center of the tunnel). The jeep was the way to go. Once we got to the visitor center we did the shuttle bus. Way better for sight seeing. We stopped at the museum had a picnic and heard a very informative talk about dessert plants. After we went to the river walk hike. It leads into the narrows of the canyon, if you desire you can hike another 5 miles up the river. It was perfect, we hiked in the water and on the path. It was 106 degrees so it was great to be able to get in the water. Did I mention the kids are great hikers.
I find it incredible that 5 national parks (Canyon reef national park - we drove through with out stopping) in one state, shaped by the same forces are so distinctly different.
