Upon your arrival you’ll have three hours to explore the amazing sights at your own will. Have your camera ready for some great picture taking opportunities as you take a leisure walk along the rim and see how Mother Nature carved an image of the Great Thunderbird into the cliff of the Canyon before you enjoy your buffet lunch at the Canyon’s edge. Included in your tour is the West Rim Skywalk excursion were you’ll have be able to view the canyon’s bottom some 4000 feet below from the Skywalks Glass Floor. To avoid long wait times we recommend that you activate your Skywalk Ticket when arriving at the West Rim so that you can maximize your free time to explore all that the West Rim has to offer.

A brief photo stop of Hoover Dam is all part of this grand adventure, as is the drive through the 900-year-old Joshua Tree Forest, which surrounds much of this high desert country.

The West Rim surroundings are that of a desert landscape with limited modern upgrades. To ensure that you experience full value of the Grand Canyon splendor, we recommend that those requiring wheelchair assistance consider the South Rim Tour option.

To reach the West Rim we’ll have to travel off the main interstate highway onto a county road which has extremely rough conditions for about 17 miles. Paving of this county road is to begin however we not be fully completed until spring of 2009. Complementary hotel pick-ups which bring you to our Tour Center were our tour officially starts from. Hotel Pick-up times vary and can commence up to 45 minutes prior to the tour departure time. Please review our hotel pick-up schedule for actual pick-up times.
