Exploring the Grand Canyon's South Rim

"The Grand Canyon is a gift that transcends what we experience. Its beauty and size humbles us; its timelessness provokes a comparison to our short existence; in its vast spaces we may find solace from our hectic lives."

Grand Canyon National Park - the jewel of the American Southwest. The South Rim is open year-round, and regarded by many as "the true Grand Canyon". During one of our exciting Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas you will witness the panoramic, sweeping vistas rimmed by majestic forests, most of the photographs and film footage of the Canyon that people see throughout their lives is from the South Rim.

The Canyon Rim is the most developed area of the park, with 6 hotels within its borders, and 5 hotels just outside the park in the small community of Tusayan. Numerous restaurants, gift shops and visitor information centers can be found in the immediate area of Grand Canyon South Rim.

Upon seeing the Grand Canyon, most are naturally compelled to want to get to the bottom. Conventional wisdom used to hold that one could not get there and back in one day. One had the choice of a two-day mule ride, a two-day hike, or a four day raft trip, all of which are massively popular trips requiring reservations a year or more in advance (not to mention a strong back).

Almost smack dead center between Las Vegas and Grand Canyon's South Rim lies a place where "conventional wisdom" no longer holds true; a place where one CAN get to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back in half a day - "the other Grand Canyon" - Grand Canyon West. Aboard our Grand Canyon airplane tours guests get the unique opportunity to experience the Canyon in a way that was once only available to the eagles.
