Grand Canyon and Death Valley

Hello again,

I will stay some days in November in Flagstaff and Las Vegas.
I travel by Greyhound.
I will go to Grand Canyon and Death Valley.

Are there cheap shuttles or have I to pay a organized tour?

Thanks

The Grand Canyon (south rim) has free shuttle bus service to the west rim to
Hermit Point (about 8-9 miles from the main visitor center) and eastward to
Yaki Point and the south Kaibab Trailhead (about 4 miles from the main tourist
center). The busses make frequent stops at the major overlooks so you can jump
on and off as often as you wish. They start about an hour before dawn and
continue until dark, and IIRC there's a bus every 30 minutes or less.

To see the 20 miles or so east of Yaki Point you'll need a car or a tour, but
there's plenty of great overlooks on the areas served by the busses closer to
the main tourist area.

Dunno about Death Valley.

You can get to Flagstaff or Williams by Greyhound.
Shuttle service between Phoenix and Flagstaff, and between Flagstaff and
Grand Canyon Village is offered by Open Road Tours (800-766-7117)

The Grand Canyon Railroad runs a steam train service between
Williams and the canyon.

There is no public transportation to Death Valley so you
have to either drive or join a commercial tour

In November, all the shuttles on the South Rim of Grand Canyon, will
be running. But, for the benefit of other readers here, these shuttles
operate on a seasonal schedule. The Hermit Rest shuttle does not
operate in the winter months (December through February). Also, during
the winter months, one can drive private automobiles to both Hermit
Rest and Yaki Point:
