Grand Canyon

This incredible natural attraction is one of the most visited places in the United States. Carved
out by the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon cuts deep into the landscape, creating dramatic
cliff walls and ledges. Visitors standing on the rim of the canyon can see down to the canyon
floor a mile below, and look out over the ridges and cliffs that run as far as the eye can see.

The South Rim, about 4.5 hours by car from Las Vegas, is the most visited section of Grand
Canyon National Park. This is where you'll find a large visitor center, regular bus service along
the Rim in the high season, and a walkway that runs along the canyon with numerous viewing
points and platforms. Several wonderful hikes, including the Bright Angel Trail, leave from here.

The Skywalk, a glass bridge leading out over the edge of the Grand Canyon is another popular
attraction. It is located at Eagle Point, on the West Rim. This area is about a four-hour drive
from the South Rim, but usually less than a 2.5-hour drive from Las Vegas. If you are planning a
day trip from Las Vegas, this area is a good option

The North Rim, which also has lookout areas, provides a different perspective. This section of
the park is less visited and has limited access from November to May due to snow and winter
conditions.
