197.00 USD per person per day (14 person-days)

Limits of these examples

Flagstaff is an outside-park base; only a November 13 South Rim day trip is priced, not a stay in closed park lodges. Two products serve three roles: the same $1,385 six-night full-kitchen studio is ordinary and studio lodging. The $1,719 one-bedroom public offer has unconfirmed nonmember eligibility/cancellation terms and independently unmeasured bedroom separation. Totals include displayed taxes/fees but are not final payable. Each role credits 12 hotel breakfasts and 12 lobby teas; 30 meals and 30 drinks remain external. Ground’s $720 uses regular starting fares, fuel, inbound entry and $100 per nonresident adult; actual fares may be higher and advance reservations are required. Meal taxes use 11.386% in Flagstaff and 6.9% in-park; Harvey tea is a same-outlet breakfast-menu benchmark applied to lunch. Harvey’s current 11:00–15:30 hours govern; closed El Tovar, Maswik and Yavapai meals are excluded. City walks of 20–45 minutes and park walking of 30 minutes are conditional budgets, not winter/accessibility guarantees. Flights, first-day breakfast fit, seats, snow, payment acceptance and mandatory extra fees are unconfirmed; no bag storage, car, parking, pet or tip allowance.
