GrandCanyon.com Releases First Grand Canyon Spring Travel Guide

Free Vacation Guide Gives Targeted Tips to Spring Break Travelers

Page, Arizona, February 22, 2006 – Grand Canyon.com knows their inaugural Spring Travel Guide will challenge some pre-conceived notions about Grand Canyon vacations.  Karlyn Bunting, President of www.GrandCanyon.com, believes that “informed travelers are happy travelers.”  The Spring Travel Guide is designed as a companion piece to the company’s popular Grand Canyon Top Tours Brochure, which highlights popular Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon West, as well as to the South Rim and North Rim. 

Many visitors have last minute questions that this Travel Guide answers. Should you pack shorts or sweaters for your spring break at the Grand Canyon? Will your cell phone work at Grand Canyon National Park? How long does it take to drive from Las Vegas or Phoenix to the Grand Canyon? Whether you’ve had your spring break vacation planned since last spring, or you’re just now getting started, the free Grand Canyon Spring Travel Guide has key helpful tips. 

Karlyn observes that, “Thus far, response has been so strong that we plan to release more seasonal guides geared toward vacationers who travel around major holidays such as Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

In addition to practical tips, the easy-to-read 13-page guide available in Adobe PDF format also offers up a few pleasant surprises.  Like what restaurants the locals enjoy, how to cut down on wait time at the entrance gates, how to find the best gas prices, and what to do if Mom and Dad want to see the Grand Canyon, but the kids want to play in the water.   

Karlyn explains, “when you live at a place for as long as we have, you notice things, especially at certain times of the year. For example, a common misconception held by some spring break travelers is that the Grand Canyon is going to be like Phoenix, and they pack nothing but summer clothes.”  Other potential shockers?  “How busy the Grand Canyon hotels are,” says Karlyn.  “Matter of fact, our guide just tells folks flat out that if they don’t have lodging inside the park booked by this point, they’re unlikely to get it.  At this stage, you’re better off looking to the gateway communities (cities and towns near the park), like Tusayan, Williams, Flagstaff or Page/Lake Powell.”
