Many have said that words simply cannot describe the beauty of the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It is more than an awe-inspiring view. It is more than a pleasuring ground for those who explore the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River.

The Grand Canyon National Park

 

 

This canyon is a gift that transcends what we experience. Its beauty and size humble us. Its timelessness provokes a comparison to our short existence. In its vast spaces we may find solace from our hectic lives. The Grand Canyon we visit today is a gift from past generations.
The Grand Canyon we visit today is a gift from past generations. Take time to enjoy this gift. Sit and watch the changing play of light and shadows. Wander along a trail and feel the sunshine and wind on your face. Attend a ranger program. Follow the antics of ravens soaring above the rim. Listen for the roar of the rapids far below. Savor a sunrise or sunset.
As the shadows lengthen across the spires and buttes, time passing into the depths of the canyon, understand what this great chasm passes to us - a sense of humility born in the interconnections of all that is and a willingness to care for this land. We have the responsibility to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to form their own connections with Grand Canyon National Park.
The best way to form that connection is on a Grand Canyon tour. There are a variety of tours to suit everyone's taste. If you are looking for a nice leisurely trip to the Grand Canyon you may be interested in a Bus Tour. If you are looking for something a little more private then a VIP SUV tour to the Grand Canyon is the way to go. Stretch your legs in a luxurious Suburban and enjoy the view of the first stop at the Hoover Dam.
Next it is on to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where you will travel down into the Grand Canyon to the Colorado River via a 4x4 trail where you will spend approximately four hours viewing and shooting some of the most spectacular scenes in the world.

Your tour will continue to the West Rim of the Canyon. Experience the most incredible view of the Grand Canyon from a rim location that has remained virtually untouched by the 20th century. You can view approximately 5 miles of the Colorado River from this extremely sheer and breathtaking location. The rock pinnacles reaching up from the canyon floor at this location are so close that you feel you can reach out and touch them.

The fourth stop on the tour will be at a Joshua Tree Forest. Enjoy the wonderful 700-900 year old Joshua Tree Forest in Arizona along a very remote route from the Grand Canyon. If you're not a photography buff when you start this trip you will be when you finish. This is a National Geographic quality adventure unequaled in America. Book your SUV Tour today!

Are you the adventurous type? Get a bird's eye view of the Grand canyon on a VIP Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour. Touch down by the banks of the historic Colorado River in time to explore the pristine Native American Hualapai lands. Compliment your journey with a delightful picnic meal and refreshments served under an authentic Indian Ramada. Your tour also includes majestic views of Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam, extinct volcanoes, and as a grand finale, you will see the world famous Las Vegas "Strip".

A Grand Canyon tour is the most exciting way to see one of the 7 wonders of the world. Visit Amazing Las Vegas, and book your tour today!
