Description	The South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park is the most famous and most visited area of the Park. The South Rim is the usually the "picture on all the postcards" because it is the widest part of the Grand Canyon and we offer many Grand Canyon South Rim airplane tours for you to experience its beauty. The South Rim offers activities such as mule rides, hiking trails, helicopter and airplane flights. As beautiful and awe-inspiring as the South Rim is, the summer months can be very crowded.		Grand Canyon West offers a rustic adventure type experience of the Grand Canyon with optional trips including airplane tour flights, helicopters, boat rides and ATVs. Although Grand Canyon West does not offer the dramatic vistas of the South Rim, the West Rim has a more rugged and authentic feel of the Canyon including a culture American Indian experience. At the West Rim, you can get below the Rim by helicopter and take a boat ride on the Colorado
