The spring schedule for the Grand Canyon National Park shuttle system will start on March 1.

According to National Parks Traveler:

Visitors traveling to Grand Canyon National Park this spring will be greeted by modified changes in shuttle bus operations compared to previous years. The spring schedule will be in place from March 1 through May 28.

To protect public health, all buses and shuttle operations are still modified to meet COVID-19 guidelines. The modified buses will carry a smaller number of passengers per trip with additional safety measures in place, including:

• Shuttle capacity is limited to 15 passengers;
• Face masks/coverings are required in line and on the bus; passengers must have their own face masks/coverings;
• Hand sanitizer will be available for use;
• Passengers must follow all CDC and public health physical distancing guidelines while in line and on the bus; sidewalk decals, tape, and signage have been installed at bus stops to promote physical distancing; and
• Buses will undergo daily cleaning according to CDC and public health guidance.

The Grand Canyon shuttles are very convenient. I made use of them four years ago when we stayed at Trailer Village at the South Rim. A shuttle stop is right at the campground's entrance.
