The West Rim is part of the Hualapai Indian Nation and is actually the "western side of the South Rim". It's not as deep as the South Rim but there is a more majestic view of the Colorado River. It's a great place and offers a completely different experience then Grand Canyon South Rim. They are both beautiful and it's only 2.5 hours from Vegas instead of 4.5! The West Rim is different in the sense that it's a 4,000 foot drop straight to the bottom of the Canyon. You also experience a much better view of the Colorado River.
Grand Canyon West Rim also offers more of a cultural experience. This is the home of the Hualupai Indian Tribe and they are just so sweet and kind to the visitors! The Hualapai Indians are one of the smallest and poorest tribes in America. There are only 2,000 Hualupai Indians on their land at the West Rim. The new development has seriously helped them. The Reservation fees are higher to enter their land but I think that the cause it worth it all things considering. That's why the fee is a bit higher on this tour. However, our fee is all inclusive and includes your meals, the Grand Canyon Skywalk, and bus pass.
This is the PERFECT tour for people who want to see the Grand Canyon but don't want to walk very much. It's a wonderful experience and I think that Guano Point (yes, as in bat droppings) is the second most scenic point at the Grand Canyon. |

. .3 HOURS AT THE WEST RIM . . . . ... . . . . by grand-adventures.com |
|
Grand-Adventures.com is the only company that gives our guests THREE FULL HOURS at Grand Canyon West Rim. We don't believe in driving all that way only to spend two hours there. Our tours are designed to enhance your Grand Canyon experience. This will enable you to see and do much more then you would on an unguided tour. The tour guide will carry your picnic lunch in a backpack and set up lunch along the trail. We may also opt for the buffet lunch during inclimate weather (and will cover the cost). They will also point out hidden lookout points, good picture spots, and explain how the Grand Canyon formed. |

..SMALL GROUPS OF 10 OR LESS . . . . . . . .for your grand canyon west rim tour |
|
|
|
We cap our group sizes so that we can move the group much faster. This enables us to be much more flexible with our tour and to let you see more on your Grand Canyon tour. It also allows the group to interact much more closely then they would if they were in a large group. |

| ..MCDONALD'S BREAKFAST in boulder, nevada |
|
The picnic lunch is one of the main characteristics that separate our Grand Canyon tours from all other Grand Canyon tour companies. We will stop along the trail and set up lunch right on the rim of the Grand Canyon. The sandwiches are HUGE and there is plenty of food to eat. Most people save half of the sandwich for the ride home. 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. |

| ..GUIDED TOUR OVER HOOVER DAM on your grand canyon west rim tour |
|
PENDING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOW: We'll walk over Hoover Dam in addition to stop at the O'Callahan - Tillman Memorial Bridge. This will give you a great perspective of Hoover Dam and how big it really is! We won't have time to tour inside the dam though. |
|
 |
| ..DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE on your grand canyon west rim tour |
|
We include a McDonald's breakfast in your Grand Canyon tour (and all other tours) with Grand-Adventures.com. You can eat as much as you like. We use to serve the continental breakfast but we learned that we ended up losing more travel time by doing this. Our guests ended up ordering food at gas stations, asked to stop, or walked to nearby places to get a bite to eat. Plus, everyone at Grand-Adventures.com came from families where it was only proper to stuff the guests with food; a la a "sliver" to Grandma was half the pie - and Lord help you if you asked for ice cream! |

 |
| ..BRIEF TOUR OF JOSHUA TREE FOREST by grand-adventures.com |
|
There is the second largest Joshua Tree forest on our way to the West Rim. Joshua Trees are giant members of the lily family and a monocot in the subgroup of flowering grasses and plants. It's very difficult to determine the age of a Joshua Tree because they don't have tree rings like normal trees. It's estimtated that the oldest trees are about 900 years old. We'll get to stop, walk through them, and look at the desert ecosystem near the West Rim while marveling at the extremely unique trees. |
|
 |
| ..FULLY GUIDED WALKING TOUR by grand-adventures.com |
|
Your tour will included a fully guided tour, where a tour guide will walk you the entire day. They'll point out all of the great lookout points, photo spots, and places to see. They'll make sure that you get to see all of the things you normally wouldn't traveling with another company or by yourself. |
|
 |
| ..WEST RIM SKYWALK on your grand canyon west rim tour |
|
The Skywalk is pretty cool and surprised me. It sits 4,000 feet over the Grand Canyon and I haven't experienced them rushing people off of the bridge like the rumors persist. They've been very patient and kind in letting people take their time walking on it. I will say that it's not for people with the slightest fear of heights. |
