As one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular sights you’ll ever experience. The canyon is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and more than 5,000 feet deep. This amazing landmark was carved over millions of years of water erosion from the Colorado River and other natural phenomena. 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 evident to all who visit the area. 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 Overnight Getaway Cabin Tour is the perfect way to experience the serenity and beauty of the canyon. The tour begins with a luxurious Jet copter ride into the heart of the Music Mountains. These majestic mountains stand on the Grand Canyon Plateau and offer fantastic views of the canyon and surrounding area. During the flight you’ll get a glimpse of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead then travel deep within the canyon itself.
After a short stay at the canyon you’ll land at the Grand Canyon West Ranch for a truly unforgettable evening. After checking into your cabin or teepee, guests will enjoy cocktails at sunset and a romantic candlelight dinner in the ranch house. Afterwards, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the stars overhead as you curl up by the campfire or head back to your cabin where you’ll find a romantic log fire and candlelight await you. You’ll be lulled to sleep by the sounds of nature surrounding your cabin and awake to a fabulous breakfast. Next, it’s back aboard the helicopter for the flight back to Las Vegas where you’ll see all the sights of the strip before landing and heading back to your hotel.
