What’s in Grand Canyon West??

Many people want to visit the Grand Canyon, but many don’t know about the Grand Canyon’s West Rim-only activities! The following list includes a few of the many great activities available to visitors to this part of the Grand Canyon.

This list includes special activities for everyone, from families to avid explorers to quiet observers. The possibilities in this beautiful and breathtaking area are endless, and any visitor will find satisfaction and fulfillment in a sense of adventure and awe.

GRAND CANYON SKYWALK

The Skywalk Glass Bridge is a must for adventurers touring the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. This 2.5-inch thick glass bridge straddles the sides of the canyon and floats above 4,000-foot-high water droplets.

Going to the bridge is exciting for most people. For those who are afraid of height, the surface is reinforced so it can support a whopping £ 71m! It’s a 70747 airliner. But fighting fear is definitely worth it. This Grand Canyon activity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will leave you with breathtaking memories that can only be experienced on the Skywalk.

EAGLE POINT

Eagle Point, the location of the Skywalk, is named after a natural eagle-shaped rock formation directly opposite the canyon. The wings are so wide that it looks like it’s standing above the Grand Canyon, 4,000 feet above the canyon floor. Get your camera ready! At Eagle Point, you have the opportunity to shoot this inspiring formation from every angle. You will be amazed by the beauty of nature, which offers miles of scenery.

GRAND CANYON BUS TOURS

The trip from Las Vegas to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon was more stylish than the Sweetours bus tour. A certified tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in a customized tour trekker bus. With over 50 seats, you’ll get a personalized experience and oversized windows. Great for taking pictures.

The Grand Canyon West Tour includes lunch, an unlimited supply of bottled water, and a drive through Joshua Tree Forest, so a day is set for you. It also includes some other perspectives and popular attractions in the area. For an additional fee, Sweettours bus tour guests can also enjoy the Skywalk mentioned above.

GUANO POINT

Another dramatic vantage point, Guano Point is renowned for its year-round photography opportunities and beautiful views. Here, visitors can experience the Grand Canyon up close by dining at the edge of Guanodeli.

Another famous attraction is high point hiking. From the top of the trail, you’ll get stunning 360-degree views of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River below! Guano Point is also home to the ruins of a historic tram that once stretched 8,000 feet across the Grand Canyon to the Guano Mine. This is the origin of the name Guano Point.

THE ZIP LINE AT GRAND CANYON WEST

For those seeking a true thrill, fly 1,000 feet above the Grand Canyon’s spectacular Side Canyon on a zipline. At an approach speed of up to 40 mph, adventurers experience about 3,200 feet of lively adrenaline surrounded by breathtaking views.

HUALAPAI VILLAGE

The Grand Canyon West is home to the Hualapai, meaning “tall pine people.” When visiting the Grand Canyon West, visitors can visit the village of Hualapai. The village has some examples of Native American buildings that you can explore on a self-guided tour. Visitors can also visit Native American gift shops. You can buy handmade items and souvenirs here.

HUALAPAI RIVER RUNNERS

Another unique way to experience the beauty of the Grand Canyon is to cruise the Colorado River with a crew of fellow adventurers. This exhilarating experience travels deep into the canyon, revealing its mystery from inside and below the canyon, rather than simply looking down from above. Not to mention the mighty Colorado River! But be prepared – the water temperature stays at 5.5 ° C, which is chilly all year round. This is an unforgettable way to experience the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River only at the Grand Canyon West.

HELICOPTER AND AERIAL VIEW TOURS

If looking at the Grand Canyon from the edge isn’t enough, there’s always a helicopter tour option. Those who choose this option flying over the canyon have plenty of opportunities to take pictures of the Colorado River as well as the canyon. Driving this route will amaze adventurers and visitors of all kinds as you experience all the beauty and splendor of the Grand Canyon, both from above the canyon itself and from within the canyon.
