I was at the Grand Canyon last July 3rd (Thurs) for the day from Las Vegas and the crowds were manageable. Don't know how crowded it was there the next day. Las Vegas was extremely crowded the 4th - will never go there again on a holiday. It takes hours just to drive down the strip.

Thanks utahtea, the sunset and stars will most certainly be worth a thousand fireworks!
I have never been in the USA on the 4th of July. Are stores or other activities closed on that day?

Just thought I would give a report on my trip.
We followed my itinerary except it was too hot to do the float trip so we skipped it.
This was a very relaxed trip. The Grand Canyon was exactly as I expected it would be. There was no fireworks on the 4th of July because of the extreme dry weather.
I found Lake Powell to be one of the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. Too bad it is poluted by all the boats.
Zion National Park was my favorite place. Magnificient mountains of redish colors. It made me think of the Canadian rockies except the mountains are of a different color. The narrows is well worth the trip. The kids had a great time tubing down the Virgin river (2 hours down the river...)
Although it was very hot everywhere we went (109F) we really enjoyed our vacation and had plenty of time to relax.
