Grand Canyon Wind Dancer Tour

A visit to the Las Vegas area will often give you much more than you bargained for. This spectacular city is within easy reach of many amazing man-made and natural wonders. The greatest of these is the Grand Canyon. For centuries Mother Nature has used the power of the Colorado River and other tools to carve this immense chasm into the desert floor. The result is a truly breathtaking formation reaching 277 miles in length, 18 miles wide and more than 5,000 feet deep in some areas.

Not willing to stop there, nature chose to make this area even more unique by providing two very different ecosystems along the canyon’s rims. The south rim is an extension of the arid desert climate and is home to only the few plants and animals that have been able to adapt. The north rim is a whole other world with grassy fields, trees, plants and animals in relative abundance due to the rains which fall there. The result is a breathtaking sight of two extremes separated by the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Wonders of the World .

Nature wasn’t the only one intent on leaving her mark on this land, however. In the early 1930’s man decided it was time for them to lend their ingenuity to the mix in this area with the construction of Hoover Dam. This fantastic structure was completed in 1935, creating four man-made lakes and supply surrounding areas with water and power. Lake Mead was the first of the lakes created by Hoover Dam and today is one of the most visited areas of Nevada .

There is only one way to truly experience all that Las Vegas and its surrounding areas have to offer and that is with the Wind Dancer Tour.
