Follow on Google News | Travel Update: Business As Usual At Grand Canyon National ParkThe state of Arizona jumped in to fund the opening of the Park. Now visitors can visit the natural wonder without restrictions. It's a short-term solution until the U.S. government works out a budget deal, which is expected later this week.
By: Grand Canyon Tours "It's not the best situation but it's a much better than last week's," said Keith Kravitz, CEO of Grand Canyon 123, the leader in canyon tour information, reviews and deals. "There's optimism that Congress can overcome its differences. If not, then the burden is on the state." Until then, Kravitz is recommending South Rim travelers book an air tour. "The airport is outside the Park," he noted. "Therefore, helicopter and airplane tours will continue to fly on a regular schedule regardless of the outcome later this week." There are two kinds of helicopter tours – a 50-minute flight and a 30-minute one. The shorter one goes from the South Rim to the North Rim and back. The longer one does that too plus everything up to the Park's eastern boundary. "The best value is the 50-minute flight," noted Kravitz. "From start to finish, a traveler will have seen up to 75 percent of the National Park. Indeed, it's the most expensive option, but it’s the best flight when it comes to seeing as much of the canyon as possible." The airplane tour http://www.grandcanyon123.com/ The West Rim is not affected by the federal shutdown because it's outside the National Park. "Every West Rim tour is available," said Kravitz. "This includes helicopters, airplanes, buses, rafts and four-wheel drives. However, there's incredible demand so make sure to book in advance to get the right trip." The West Rim, which is 120 miles from Las Vegas http://www.grandcanyon123.com/ "West Rim helicopters are special because of the fact that they can fly to the base," said Kravitz. "It's the only place in the entire Grand Canyon where this is possible. As for which landing tour is the most popular, it’s the one that includes a Champagne picnic alongside the Colorado River. Now that’s an adventure!” For more information about available canyon tours, get this free report: http://www.grandcanyon123.com/ End
