Grand Canyon South Rim Tour

Prepare yourself for breathtaking views as you visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Grand Canyon, stretching more than 277 miles in length, and spanning over 18 miles across is a wondrous site to behold. Five thousand feet below the rim, The Colorado River is responsible for the majority of the natural erosion that has shaped this remarkable landmark. The South Rim of the Grand Canyon averages 7,000 feet above sea level. On this side of the gorge, very little wildlife thrives in desert climate as apposed to the north rim where frequent rains have flourished the plants and trees that occupy this environment.
