Spleen, if the kids are young, you might not want to take the long hike from the south rim...it gets hot down a ways and you'd need to pack water

They'll be 12 and 17, so no worries there. They're both in better shape than the wife and I are.

I think we've decided to make a full day of the GC and enter from the East gate, and drive down to the South rim, then find a decent hike to find some seclusion adn take in the sunset before heading back to Sedona.

I never can remember, but how are the National Parks on alcohol? Wouldn't mind packing in a bottle of wine for the wife and I to have while watching the sunset, but want to be respectful of the rules.
