Are you planning a Spring Break getaway to Vegas? Maybe you're just considering you options right now. Well, Spring Break will soon be here, so it is time to make some definite plans if you want to beat the rush during the months of March and April.
Since you'll be close to the Grand Canyon when you go to Vegas, you should make plans to take a tour while you're there. While you can choose from a variety of tours, you should consider a bus tour because you'll see lots of scenic views and have the chance for some adventure.
The good thing about beginning your Canyon tour in Vegas is that you can choose between a tour of the South Rim or the West Rim. You can upgrade your tour to include various activities such as a helicopter flyover of the rim.
West Rim Skywalk
A lot of people want to go to the West Rim because it has a lot of fun activities and attractions. The Skywalk is one of the attractions you don't want to miss. The Skywalk is a huge transparent platform that is suspended over the Canyon so you can walk on it and look down to the Canyon floor 4000 feet below. You'll have impressive views and a few thrills, plus there are professional photographers stationed there to snap a photo of you enjoying the experience.
Helicopters are allowed to fly down to the Canyon floor at the West Rim, so you can add one of the adventurous flights to your bus tour. If you take the helicopter flight, you'll get to land beside the river and have a picnic complete with champagne while you enjoy the scenery from the bottom of the Canyon. This tour also comes with the option to take a boat ride along the Colorado River.
In addition, the West Rim is great for walking and hiking and enjoying magnificent views from lookouts like Eagle Point and Guano Point.
About The South Rim Of The Canyon
The West Rim is busy and filled with adventure, but the South Rim is more about experiencing the beauty of nature. Just like the West Rim tours, you can upgrade your South Rim bus tour to include a helicopter ride over the Canyon. The helicopter flyover goes over to the North Rim, which is a remote wilderness area and back to the South Rim. The flight path takes you over the Dragoon Corridor, so you'll get to see the widest and deepest part of the Canyon.
The bus portion of the tour takes you to notable spots like Mather and Yaki points. You'll also stop at Grand Canyon Village to get something to eat or to shop for souvenirs of your trip.
Upgrade To The Deluxe Tour
In addition to basic bus tour tickets, there are also deluxe tours available. The deluxe tours are more personal since they use a touring van that only carries 12 people. Compare that to the basic tour that uses a motor coach and takes about 40 people on each tour. When you go on a deluxe tour, you'll have a little more freedom when it comes to when to take rest stops and what landmarks you want to see.
Both types of tours are all-inclusive, so you don't have to worry about last minute fees. The park fees and even your lunch are included. The prices for a bus tour begin around $80, so it is an affordable way to tour one of the most beautiful places in America.
To Conclude
A Vegas getaway that includes a bus tour to the Canyon is a perfect way to spend your Spring Break. The tours have several options for you to choose from, so you can upgrade your tour to include a helicopter ride or other fun adventures if you want. Canyon tours fill up fast, especially during busy times like Spring Break, so book your tour early for guaranteed seats and the lowest prices.
The Canyon is filled with all kinds of adventure, so it is a fitting experience for a Spring Break getaway. It is one of the most interesting and beautiful places on earth, so don't put off seeing it.
