Both the south and north rim are spectacular. Depending on how long you will have there try to get to both, however the south rim is probably the more popular. It's fun to watch the donkeys and people hiking up and down the Bright Angel trail(bring binoculars). You can also walk just a little way down the trail just to have that experience, turn around and come back. Bring water even if you think you won't need it. You can drive in either direction from there and just pull off at all the places where you see parking, each and every view will be different and fabulous. The Bright Angel Lodge is right on the edge of the canyon, interesting place to stay, pretty rustic. I have never stayed there but have been in there. Don't under setimate the amount of time you will be there....sunrise is great, so is sunset....as is the rest of the day.
