First time we went, we stayed in Williams and took the train to the canyon on the "Rails to the Rim" tour. We had a bus meet us at the canyon and it took us around a bit, but we spent most of our time at the main center. Next time, we drove out to the canyon and drove out as far as we could stopping to see the sights along the way. I agree with the poster that said you need to spend enough time there to see the canyon in different lighting. It is spectacular.
When we went on the train, we got off at the station and boarded a bus. Everyone was talking about the train ride until the bus driver stopped the bus and said, "You might want to look to your right and see what you came to see." We all looked out and there was the canyon immediately to our right. There was a collective "Ooooooh" as we saw it for the first time.
