Whilst in Vegas it’s nice to actually do
some sightseeing and learn history whenever you have the chance. The Grand
Canyon was a lovely day out, a long day out but lovely. The canyon was made due
to the Colorado River(erosion) and its 277 miles long, its literally a
huge hole in the ground. The south rim is open all year around but the north
rim is only opened seasonal this rim is closer to Utah then Nevada. The skywalk
is glass and provides great views of the canyon.
The grand canyon is a natural wonder of the
world, and is included in the 7 natural wonders of the world.
You can do this
tour in many ways and styles but we went with a day trip from Vegas. We did the
tour via the bus option so we were on the coach which was narrative (if you
wanted to listen) and then arrived at the Southern Rim to have a mooch
around and then moved onto the Hoover Dam and then we opted for an upgrade so
we also had a helicopter tour over the whole canyon which was a great
experience as you really get to see the whole of the Canyon and it goes for
miles! Then after several hours at the National Geographic Visitor Centre
we were back on the bus and heading home. You learn a lot about the structure
of the Hoover Dam and you get to tour the power plant if this is included in
your trip.
There are
different trips which can include of Southern Rim tour, Northern Rim tour, West Rim tour, Hoover
Dam tour, Southern Rim and Hoover Dam (this is what we did) This is a long day
out but worth it if you like nature, history or just want to say you’ve seen a
wonder of the world.
