Although I *love* Yosemite (as I said earlier, I grew up near there), given the rest of your schedule, I would choose the Grand Canyon. It's really different than the other places you're visiting.

Thanks everyone for the information. You have all been very helpful. Greatly apprecaited!!!

We're doing both next month... will report back how it was.. I couldn't find any lodges IN the canyon for next month.. they were all booked, but DH did not want to anyways, he said the Thunderbird Lodge where he stayed last year was crap.. and he rather stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Flagstaff... that's his thing.. lol..

Good luck in what you choose!!

In May the possibility of the falls being in full hie is good and would be truly wonderful. It is an absolutely magical place.
I don't agree that you have time to hike or raft the Grand Canyon to enjoy it. It is just "different" if you don't.
I think for the short time available, the GC would be an easier trip, although you woul have to kill me to get me to Las Vegas.

I guess I might ask additionally "how" are you planning to do these from wherever your base--drive yourelf or doing a tour.
