From the Visitor Center, be sure to continue on to Mather Point for an easily accessible view point. If parking is available, shuttle buses depart from here to all points of the park.

Hiking

Don't forget to stock up on souvenirs and get the stamp for your National Parks passport ;)
Of course there are also bathrooms.

Hiking

It's a great place to park and then hike to Mather Point or, best of all, continue on the Rim Trail. You can fill up your water tank for free and you can't buy bottled water here. Otherwise, you'll find everything your heart desires: lots of information, souvenirs, food/drinks, bike rentals, etc.
