Which Grand Canyon entrance should we use coming from Santa Fe?
In a few weeks we will be driving from Santa Fe to the Grand Canyon. Mapquest tells me it's about 7 hours driving so with a stop for lunch I expect to arrive around 4:00. We will be spending the night at Yavapai Lodge. Would it be better to enter GCNP via the south entrance or the east entrance?

Why? Fewer crowds? Better views?

Uh, because it's a longer drive to go the other way...

Because you are driving along the rim the whole way, and can stop at the various viewpoints.
