Grand Canyon Tours
Lots to Choose From!
You can spend a lot of money on Grand Canyon Tours, or you can get by pretty cheap. A bus will take you from Las Vegas for as little as $70 per person. You can also, if so inclined, drop over $3,000 on a full canyon rafting trip.
You might want to choose tours by the time you have available. A horseback ride for an hour or so can be a nice little break. Half-day trip choices are common, whether by helicopter, jeep or raft. Hiking, guided or not, can take up an hour or a month. It's up to you.
How active do you want to be? There are companies that offer guided hiking tours, easy or advanced.
Perhaps you've heard of the Grand Canyon West area on the Hualapai Indian Reservation. They've built a glass-bottomed Skywalk where you can walk out into the thin air of the Canyon. You'll walk suspended high above the gorge, an amazing experience!Have you considered a mule ride? This is a great way to see the canyon, even if you have trouble doing much hiking. Sure, you'll be saddle-sore, but you probably won't blow out your knee!
Other options for active vacations include taking a rafting trip, and being part of the crew. You can choose a rafting trip that has you and your fellow passengers doing the paddling (I have descriptions of the some of the boats on my Grand Canyon River Rafting page). A jeep tour, while it may not sound very strenuous, is a far cry from sitting on an air-conditioned bus that stays on fairly level roads.
You may not want to be that active, after all, you're on vacation! Not to worry, Grand Canyon tours are available in a variety of pleasant (and air-conditioned) choices. You know, planes, trains and automobiles (I'm counting helicopters in the planes category :-).
See my links below to get a taste of the Grand Canyon tours that are readily available. See my rafting pages also. But don't forget to check out the Grand Canyon Tours & Travel website.
