US 180 through Tusayan

Grand Canyon IMAX Theater

The population of Tusayan is only around 550 but the town receives huge numbers of visitors each year since it lies at the main (south) entrance to Grand Canyon National Park, along US 180 from Flagstaff (72 miles). There is however no sign of the canyon in town, which is surrounded by thick pine woodland of the Kaibab National Forest, crossed by several unpaved tracks which lead to free primitive camping locations, an alternative to staying in the national park or the limited number of hotels. All facilities are located along the highway, over a distance of just over half a mile; they include a few shops and restaurants, the Grand Canyon IMAX Theater, a post office and RV site. Grand Canyon Airport is one mile south, offering sightseeing trips and scheduled flights from Boulder City and Las Vegas; more services will follow upon completion of a new terminal around 2020.
