Grand Canyon & Colorado River

21-09-2010

We took an optional adventure tour which is very popular in Las Vegas. Grand Canyon West Rim by an 18 seats small plane, from Las Vegas to the Rim of the Canyon. Then a Helicopter descent 4000 feet to land at the bottom of the Grand Canyon floor then enter a Pontoon boat cruise on the Colorado River.

Grand Canyon West is on the Hualapai Nation’s portion of Grand Canyon just before it enters Lake Mead. It is located near Las Vegas and we could see clearly the Hoover Dam just below. The road out to Grand Canyon West is completely paved and visitors can take the Grand Canyon Skywalk when they visit Grand Canyon West. As you walk up the U Platform made of Glass, experience the exhilaration of standing in the middle of Grand Canyon with the canyon floor 2000 feet below, an awe inspiring view.
