Are you thinking of Mt. Rushmore?

You can't see the president's faces at the Grand Canyon at all. For that, you will need to go to Mount Rushmore.

that is in South Dakota Mt Rushmore

Mt. Rushmore is in South Dakota, not Arizona. However, here are some things you can do at the Grand Canyon: Aside from casual sightseeing from the South Rim (averaging 7000 feet (2100 meters) above sea level), whitewater rafting, hiking and running are especially popular. The floor of the valley is accessible by foot, muleback, or by boat or raft from upriver. Hiking down to the river and back up to the rim in one day is discouraged by park officials because of the distance, steep and rocky trails, change in elevation, and danger of heat exhaustion from the much higher temperatures at the bottom. Rescues are required annually of unsuccessful rim-to-river-to-rim travelers. Nevertheless, hundreds of fit and experienced hikers complete the trip every year. Camping on the North and South Rims are generally restricted to established campgrounds and reservations are highly recommended, especially at the busier South Rim. All overnight camping below the rim requires a backcountry permit from the Backcountry Country Office (BCO). Each year Grand Canyon National Park receives approximately 30,000 requests for backcountry permits. The park issues 13,000 permits, and close to 40,000 people camp overnight.[14] The earliest a permit application is accepted is the first of the month, four months prior to the proposed start month. Applying as soon as allowed will improve your chances of obtaining an overnight backcountry use permit for the dates of your choice. Tourists wishing for a more vertical perspective can board helicopters and small airplanes in Las Vegas and Phoenix for canyon flyovers. Scenic flights are no longer allowed to fly within 1500' of the rim within the national park. The last aerial video footage from below the rim was filmed in 1984. However, some helicopter flights land on the Havasupai and Hualapai Indian Reservations within Grand Canyon (outside of the park boundaries). Recently, the Hualapai Tribe opened the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk on their property, Grand Canyon West. The Skywalk has seen mixed reviews since the site is only accessible by driving down a 14-mile dirt road, costs a minimum of $85 in total for reservation fees, a tour package and admission to the Skywalk itself and the fact that cameras are not permitted on the Skywalk at any time.

I believe they're on the other side of Carlsbad Canyon at the end of the Grand one.

You would have to take a picture of the president's faces to see them in the grand canyon.

You have to open up your wallet and remove a 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 & 100. Some of those dudes were presidents.
