 | NO CHILDREN UNDER 10: We unfortunately do not allow children under ten. The van is small and intimate and the walk is not suitable for young or infant children. Please call us if you have multiple children over ten but one that isn't and we can discuss this with you. |
|---|
| SHOWS: Please DO NOT, never-ever-ever, swear-on-a-grave, BOOK A SHOW on the same night as your tour. There's always a slight chance that your tour experience could be vastly enhanced by a non-charged bonus like a flat tire, inclement weather, accident on the freeway, or even get caught in a herd of my beloved Michigan state animals, construction cones! |

OUR GOAL is to make your Grand Canyon tour the highlight of your trip to Las Vegas. It's a very simple goal accomplished on a very simple mission. We give you 3 FULL HOURS of a FULLY GUIDED TOUR at the South Rim, a McDonald's breakfast,and a picnic lunch. The fully-guided walking tour includes a tour guide walking with you to maximize your personal experience of the Grand Canyon. We offer this at Grand-Adventures.com and that is what makes us different from other Grand Canyon tour companies!We feel that time is the only asset that we can give you to completely absorb the tranquility and splendor of the Grand Canyon. It is in this time that we'll guide you along a flat, easy trail so you can enjoy the Grand Canyon as Mother Nature intended; peacefully along a winding trail where the edge of earth touches the faint blue sky. You will learn during this walk that the Grand Canyon transcends beyond borders and frames as sunlight brushes shadows over clouds, rocks, and trees, careful to never paint the same surreal scene twice. The trail is away from the large tourist groups and runs west of Grand Canyon Village. None of the big commercial tour buses have access to this section of the park so the lookout points won't be overrun with tourists. It will be very easy to find your own vantage point to take pictures without being distracted by masses of tourists. Don't see the Grand Canyon. Experience it! |

Plus, everyone at Grand-Adventures.com came from families where it was only proper to stuff the guests with food! |

We do not believe in the type of hospitality that leaves people still hungry after a scheduled meal. Please click here to read more about your PICNIC LUNCH. |

| ..ROUTE 66 STOP IN SELIGMAN,ARIZONA by grand-adventures.com |
|
|---|
This stop is seasonal. The shops are closed from December through April. We will stop based on season and if it's not too crowded with big buses. Have you seen the Disney movie "Cars"? Well, Seligman, Arizona is a very famous place but still hidden from mainstream tourism. John Lassiter, the producer of Cars, spent quite a bit of time here and many of the characters from Cars are based on REAL PEOPLE from Seligman. It's also home to the real Angel of Route 66. There was a time in America when Route 66,the first major road project and interstate road in America that connected Chicago to Los Angeles, fell by the wayside. It took a true Angel to lobby Congress to recognize Route 66 as a National Historic site. Angel Delgadillo is the Angel of Route 66 and his efforts virtually saved the route from extinction. It was his actions that inspired John Lassiter to write the movie "Cars". Please visit our Route 66 Page. |

The grand canyon is located at 7,000 feet in altitude and has very thin air. You will need to provide a letter from your doctor clearing you to walk at 7,000 feet altitude if you have heart,respiratory,or physical disabilities.

TRAVEL NOTE: Please bring a book or another forms of entertainment. It's a very long, scenic drive to the Grand Canyon but one of the few destinations that you'll see that actually lives up to its hype!The scenery will change 3-4 times and those who don't choose to sleep normally talk to each other. |

WALKING NOTE: We reserve the right to change or alter the walking route or tour for any reason. We may not visit the lookout points above. The main reason for altering a course usually involves inclement weather during the winter time or excessive rain in the summertime. We'll still spend 3-4 hours inside the park but drive to different lookout points. Please contact us immediately if you feel that your tour was cut short by the tour guide so that we can resolve this issue with you. |

WALKING TOUR TIMES, ROUTES, & SEASONS: The walking tour departs at 6-6:30am all year. We do not offer the sunset tour from December 1st to February 28th. The reason is that the sun sets a bit too far south west of the Grand Canyon. We also alter the walking route in the winter. The western shuttle systems in the park close for the winter. There is a very good chance that the tour guide will let you stay for the sunset in December and January because the sun sets by 4:30pm.
Please email us at cs@grand-adventures.com or call1.800.618.0744 if you have any questions about the departure dates and months. |
