The oldest section goes from Kingman up over Sitgreaves Pass and through the town of Oatman, but it is a fairly slow road. It follows the route of an 1860-s wagon road, parts of which are still visible. But you'll need to factor in the daylight hours, as once it gets dark, it is *really* dark out there ;-)

Evening Program
The perfect way to end your day at the Grand Canyon! Enjoy a ranger presentation on a significant
aspect of the canyon’s fascinating natural or cultural history. For this evening’s topic check the
schedules posted around the park.
Shrine of the Ages auditorium 7:30 p.m. 1 hour

Cafeteria style, decent food at decent prices. We'll mostly eat at these places.

Glimpses of the Past
Have you ever wondered how 800 years ago people found food, water, and shelter? Join a ranger to
explore the remains of an ancestral Puebloan village and envision a thriving community in this harsh
and demanding environment. This walk entails a journey on a 0.1 mile (0.2 km) flat, paved trail.
Tusayan Museum, 3 miles (5 km) west of Desert View
11:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. 30 – 45 minutes

Condor Talk
What highly endangered bird with a 9-foot wingspan is often spotted at Grand Canyon? The
California condor! Learn about these majestic birds and their reintroduction in northern Arizona
in a talk on the canyon’s rim. Parking is limited; consider parking at Lots C or D or riding the free
Village Route shuttle bus to the Bright Angel stop. No talks May 4 – 7.
In front of Lookout Studio near Bright Angel Lodge (You may have to use stairs to arrive at the program site.) 4:00 p.m. 30–45 minutes
