Pro Tip: due to extremely limited parking at the Bright Angel Lodge, I’d recommend parking at the Visitor Center and riding the free shuttle to get to the Bright Angel trailhead. Ride the free shuttle bus - park at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center and take the west-bound Village Route (blue shuttle) to Bright Angel Lodge.We went in March 2021 during the low season however, we still had to park a bit away at the parking lot near Maswik Lodge. Drive yourself to Bright Angel Lodge - you can drive your vehicle to Bright Angel Lodge and park in one of the few parking areas.Located in Grand Canyon’s South Rim by Bright Angel Lodge, you can get to the Bright Angel trailhead two ways: Since national park entrance fees range anywhere from $20 - $35 per vehicle, this pass will pay itself off after visiting 3 U.S. For $80, your pass will cover entrance fees at all U.S. Pro Tip: if you plan on visiting three or more national parks in a year, I’d recommend investing in the America The Beautiful annual national parks pass.
