You may have visited the Grand Canyon before, and sure, you probably had the time of your life, hiking, sightseeing and taking in the splendor of one of the seven natural wonders of the world. But until you head to Grand Canyon West, you really haven’t experienced it the way it was meant to be experienced.
Located on the Hualapai Reservation, Grand Canyon West is an all-in-one, immersive experience into the nature, culture and experiences of the Grand Canyon. The centerpiece of Grand Canyon West is definitely the Skywalk, a semi-circular glass bridge that allows you to feel suspended over the West Rim. It’s truly an adrenaline rush like no other, but it’s just the beginning of your adventure.
As beautiful as the Grand Canyon is from the rim (or in a helicopter), there’s really nothing like seeing it while on a white-water rafting trip down the Colorado River. Not only is it a great communal experience, it’s fun from start to finish. Just make sure you’ve got the camera handy.
Want more thrills? No problem! Check out the zipline experience, 3,200 feet of fast-paced excitement while you soar 500 feet above the canyon floor at speeds of up to 40 mph.
