There are very few sights in the world that are more awe inspiring than the Grand Canyon . This spectacular canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and for good reason. The canyon is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and more than 5,000 feet deep. Its existence is mostly thanks to millions of years of water erosion from the Colorado River . The river’s elevation at the bottom of the canyon averages about 2,200 feet and its highest elevation is at Grandview Point where it reaches 6,800 feet. The canyon itself is a veritable time capsule. The walls contain rocks which range from 250 million to more than 2 billion years old.

The Grand Canyon is separated into two major sections, the south rim and the north rim. The stark differences between the two are truly amazing and definitely a breathtaking sight. The south rim is made up mostly of desert land. Very few springs can be found in the area and plant and animal life have adapted over the years to the conditions. The north rim has a much wetter climate and, therefore, much more plant and animal life. Grassy fields can be seen dotting the landscape along the north rim and trees are scattered throughout the area.
The Grand Canyon Dream Catcher Tour is a once in a lifetime opportunity at a truly unforgettable experience. This journey will begin at the VIP Terminal where guests will enjoy a champagne toast before boarding the first class Jet Helicopter that will take you to the canyon. As you fly high over the Las Vegas area the casinos and streets are replaced with beautiful views of the Valley of Fire and the Grand Canyon . The chopper will then land on the canyon floor where you’ll enjoy drinks, hors d’oeuvres and a champagne toast. After a break to take in the beauty of the area and get some great photos it’s back on board the chopper for the trip back to Vegas. On the way back you’ll see some magnificent views of Lake Mead , extinct volcanoes and the magical site of Hoover Dam at dusk. As the sun goes down the glittering lights of Las Vegas welcome you back as you descend over the city.
You can rest assured that the Grand Canyon Dream Catcher Tour is an experience you’ll never forget, or stop talking about. You’ll certainly have some great stories to share when you return home!
