Please note that driving in Grand Canyon National Park puts a strain on your vehicle due to steep grades and high altitude.  Your vehicles power may be noticeably reduced and you should allow extra time and distance for passing.  Don't ride your brakes going down steep grades, downshift to a lower gear.  If your brakes start to loose effectiveness or start to squeal, pull over and wait 20 minutes for your brakes to cool.  If you are on a two lane road and trailering, pull over to let faster traffic pass as needed, do not try to regulate the speed limit.  Some areas may require you to drive with your headlamps on during the daylight hours.  Heed these indications.
