Grand Canyon National Park

My boyfriend and I decided that visiting the Grand Canyon was something that we had to do whilst on holiday in Las Vegas. It is not somewhere that we anticipate travelling to again therefore it was a somewhere that we were certain we wanted to see. It was day 4 of our holiday and we were running out of days to travel to the canyon so the main task of the day whilst viewing the hotels along the strip was to find a tour to the Grand Canyon that we wanted to go on that was also within our price range. After going to the concierge desk at our hotel and being given a number of options that were well above our price range we were feeling a bit downbeat thinking ...  Read the complete review

Going to Vegas we decided to do a trip to the Grand Canyon - a once in a lifetime trip to one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. It's about a 2 and a half / 3 hours drive from Vegas and as my friend is scared of flying we did the coach trip rather than helicopter (which I wanted to do)! We booked before we went and it cost $140 per person (about £85) and included the coach tour, lunch and a walk out on the Skywalk (more on that later). Not a bad price to be honest. Ours was the West Rim Bus Tour (the best tour is the West Rim one). We got picked up at Ballys Hotel (opposite ours) in Vegas and were shuttled to Planet Hollywood where we had to ...  Read the complete review

We drove from Vegas to the Grand Canyon in a hired RV. The day we arrived there was a massive thunderstorm and this was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen- lightning shooting down the canyon right infront of us! However, I wouldn't recommend standing on the canyon edge in a storm because most of the trees near us were dead from lightning strikes!! We spent four days walking along the rim of the canyon in various different areas. The views from each corner you turn are truly astonishing! Altough only experienced hikers/ guided treks trek right down to the canyon we walked a part way down towards Plateau point for an hour or so on a windy path. ...  Read the complete review

Before going to the Grand Canyon I didn't really kow what to expect. We put it into our travels as we knew it was worth seeing but beyong that we didn't really have any expectations. We spent a whole day at the Grand Canyon. We firstly walked around the rim, seeing the amazing views. Although what you're seeing is pretty much the same thing the whole way round at the same time what you're seeing is different due to the different colours and shapes. The sheer size of the Canyon is hard to describe, I thought it was HUGE!!! I didn't realise how huge until I went in a helicopter over the canyon and this just shows the vastness of this wonder. even ...  Read the complete review
