The Best Grand Canyon Tours From Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS - Sept. 20, 2018 - PRLog -- If you are planning a visit to the Grand Canyon, chances are that you planned on visiting the area that you have seen in all the pictures and on television over the years. The Grand Canyon National Park is a protected space located near Page, Arizona and has been one of the most visited and photographed natural landscapes in history. Because of it's popularity, the Grand Canyon National Park area has grown over the years to offer many choices for visitors as far as activities, including hiking and nature observation, rafting and helicopter tours. This has created a scenario where there is more to experience at the location than simple "picture taking," and has evolved the tours that are offered into more adventure type experiences that involve exploration.

The Grand Canyon West Rim is an area of Navajo land that has been developed as a tourist attraction within the last decade. After many years of failed attempts at attracting Las Vegas visitors to the area, the decision was made to build a suspended glass bridge over the canyon floor. Many complain that this spoils the natural beauty of the area, and is done only as a tourist trap. For many who visit Las Vegas and plan on taking a quick tour to the Grand Canyon, this is actually the right choice because they do not care about hiking or exploration. They are attracted by the short, 2 hour drive to the location and the ability to take pictures from the bridge. The area is far less developed for any of the other activities, however and will not be as satisfying for those seeking a more adventurous experience.

If you are planning a Grand Canyon tour from Las Vegas, it is in your best interest to inquire as to which area of the Grand Canyon the tour will be visiting. If you have limited time and are not interested in outdoor exploration, the West Rim may be the choice for you. If you are interested in scenic views, exploration and hiking make sure you choose a tour that visits the South Rim. Once you make the choice and are out there, you probably won't get a chance to redo it!
