As one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon draws thousands of visitors each year. This natural formation, caused mainly by the Colorado River, has left a chasm that is over 277 miles long, more than 18 miles wide and, in some areas, more than 5,000 feet deep. The mere sight of this example of Mother Nature’s power is enough to leave any visitor breathless.

Grand Canyon West Ranch is pure western history that is still living today. This 106,000 acre working ranch incorporates the historic Diamond Bar Ranch and was established around a series of natural springs that have been in existence for millions of years. There is complete seclusion with more that 100,000 acres of untouched wilderness and stunning mountain scenery from 3,000 to 6,000 feet.
Located only 30 minutes from the Las Vegas “Strip,” it takes two days to ride on horseback from one end of the ranch to the other. The notorious gun fighter, Tap Duncan, who rode with Kid Curry, previously owned Grand Canyon West Ranch. With the only natural water springs on the west side of the Grand Canyon, this area has been used by Indians, Mormons, and more as they made their way west. Carbon dating on items found in the area places human artifacts between 3,600 to 3,700 years ago.
Your Grand Canyon Ranch Adventure begins with a helicopter ride into the depths of the Grand Canyon, descending over 1,500 feet below the rim. Enjoy sights that most never see as you pass lofty cathedral walls and columns that constantly change brilliant colors as the sunlight dances off the surface.
