Barney;
I agree, May is best. The kids around here dont get out of school until late in May so it won't be over ran. You didn't say where you were staying, but If you decide on a place be shure its open. Some are closed till mid Apr and May, they have a season up there.
As far as crossing the dam goes, if you can go down in a car its better its a 2 lane bridge and they are still doing inspections on it. We went that way a few weeks ago and it was very slow and crowded, bunper to bumper. If you cross the dam , the road back to 40 is good once you get out of the canyon. As far as the best place to view the canyon , its all spectacular to see. There are many view points, we like walking the rim a little and looking around. And there are trails for that. We have only been to the south rim so cant speak of the north rim.
Have fun.
