Grand Canyon Memorial Day Weekend Itinerary Help With Wheelchair Accessibility

Hi everyone,

I’m visiting the Grand Canyon with my family over Memorial Day weekend. We’re arriving Saturday afternoon, staying 2 nights in Tusayan, and leaving Monday night for Sedona.

My grandmother cannot walk much, so we’re bringing a wheelchair for her. We also have a rental car and an America the Beautiful Pass.

I know South Rim is closest to Tusayan, but I’m also open to North Rim suggestions if anything is actually practical with this schedule.

I’m looking for help planning a realistic itinerary for:
Saturday half-day
Sunday full-day
Monday full-day

Main things I need advice on:

  • best wheelchair-friendly viewpoints
  • must-see walk or trail
  • whether North Rim is worth considering or too far
  • places where the family can split up if some people want to hike while others stay with my grandmother
  • parking/shuttle strategy for Memorial Day weekend

I don’t want to overpack the trip, especially because of my grandmother’s mobility needs and the holiday crowds. Any practical route or stop-by-stop suggestions would really help.

Thanks!
