Why now
At $542 per person round trip, this fare is $609 below the typical fare on this route. That's 53% under the $1,151 median of our earlier checks. It's also the lowest in 30 days. We saw 7 fares on this route, ranging from $542 to $1,259. For two, flights come to $1,084. A week at Red Feather Lodge/Hotel adds $1,433, and with $130 per person a day for spending, our budget for two lands at $4,337. Mid-November is jacket season at the canyon: highs of 43–57°F, lows near 31°F, mostly overcast with a couple of clear days. You're well clear of the summer crowds and the inner-canyon heat above 100°F, which makes this a good week for rim walks and part-way hikes. Prices are all-in with taxes and fees as found and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a nature week built around the rim. Think sunrise walks, part-way hikes, a day on the train and cold nights under the stars. It suits couples or a pair of friends who like a slow, outdoorsy pace and don't mind bundling up. Mornings start early, days are spent outside in layers and evenings wind down indoors in Tusayan.

Where to stay in Grand Canyon
All three picks are in Tusayan, a mile outside the south entrance with shuttle access, so early mornings on the rim are easy. Red Feather Lodge/Hotel is the best value at $1,433 for 7 nights ($205 a night) in an Economy Twin Room (Motel). It scores 8.8 from 827 reviews, it's room only, and it's the only one of the three with free cancellation. Grand Canyon Hotel & Suites costs $1,615 ($231 a night) and scores 8.4 from 6,055 reviews. It's the pick if you want breakfast included, in a room with two queen beds. Holiday Inn Resort Grand Canyon by IHG is the 4-star option at $2,139 ($306 a night), with a score of 8.2 from 7,742 reviews, room only. Heads-up: neither of those last two offers free cancellation. If you'd rather base yourself in a town, Flagstaff has the widest choice of hotels and restaurants.
