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.
You can visit the West Rim or the South Rim from Vegas, so it's really the best point to start your adventure from. You can even add on a helicopter tour which adds an element of excitement and fun.
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.
Another good thing about going to the West Rim is that you can add on a helicopter flight down to the bottom of the Canyon. The chopper will fly into the Canyon and set down near the river where you can enjoy a Champagne picnic and enjoy the view of the towering rock walls. You can also add on 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.
Touring The South Rim
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.
The Deluxe Tour Option
You get to choose between taking a basic or deluxe tour. The deluxe tours are a more private experience since they utilize touring vans that take 12 people per tour. Compare that to the basic tour that uses a motor coach and takes about 40 people on each tour. One good thing about a deluxe tour is that you have a voice in when you stop for a rest and what landmarks you will see.
The price you pay for a deluxe or basic tour is all-inclusive, which eliminates hidden fees. The price includes a lunch as well as park fees. Bus tours are the most affordable way to see the Canyon, since you can book a tour for as low as $80.
Conclusion
Celebrate Spring Break in a big way this year by heading to Vegas and taking a bus tour to the Canyon. You have lots of options from which rim to tour, deluxe or basic tours, and even upgrades like a helicopter flyover. Don't forget to book your tour as soon as you can because they will fill up fast over Spring Break, plus booking early ensures you get the best price on your tour and any upgrades you choose.
Get ready to have a fantastic experience this year on Spring Break at the Canyon. Don't pass up seeing the Canyon, you'll enjoy the breathtaking views and exhilarating adventures that await you.
