Vacationers bound for Grand Canyon National Park may
want to take the train this summer. Park superintendent Boyd Evison
says 3,800 cars are currently arriving each day, and 6,400 vehicles
will pack the park during the peak months of July and August. With
only 1,600 parking spaces in the South Rim Village, that means
drivers can look forward to a quintessential urban experience:
searching for some place to put the car. Park staffers suggest
tourists leave their vehicles in Flagstaff or Williams, then take a
bus or two-hour train ride to the
park.
