The overwhelming view of the Grand Canyon is an awe inspiring scene for any person. As one of the Seven Wonders of the World this 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 sheer size alone will make you realize just how powerful Mother Nature can truly be.

Over the years as the Colorado River cut through the rock it forged two different worlds that exist side by side giving you a unique look at too completely different climates. From desert to rain forest the eco-system is varied and wondrous. In the desert area on the south side you can see the few plants and animals that have learned to survive in such a climate. Along the north rim you can observe the trees and grasses that flourish due to the wetter climate.
The Grand Canyon West Tour will take you through the Joshua Tree Forest as you make your way to the Hualapai Indian Reservation. The Joshua Tree Forest is a fascinating forest that is more than 800 years old. As you make your way to the authentic Indian Reservation you will be amazed by how undisturbed this area has been, as well as how this tribe has adapted and flourished in such a remote area throughout the years. You can take a leisurely walk along the rim before enjoying a BBQ lunch. From this vantage point you will be able to see the “Great Thunderbird” that has been carved into the cliff of the Canyon. You will also have a great photo opportunity as you make a stop at Hoover Dam where you will see how the Great River was tamed as it flows through the canyon.
Enjoy inspiring views that can be seen from the significant vantage point that only the west rim can provide. This extraordinary site is sure to impress the entire family and you will be left with memories that will last a lifetime
