Best Ways to See the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of the most gorgeous locations in the world, so your visit should be extraordinary. There are many ways to
explore this natural wonder, each allowing you to enjoy a different experience. We don't just want you to have a memorable visit;
we want you to have the experience of a lifetime. That's why we've compiled this list of best ways to see the Grand Canyon that
will take your breath away.
Mule Rides
To experience the Grand Canyon close-up and feel as though you're in a Western adventure, take a mule ride into the canyon. The
sure-footed animals hug the cliff edges as you're treated to spectacular views. Mule rides often descend into the South Rim, which
is the canyon's most visited area. Be aware, though, that you and your group will need to meet the specified height and weight
requirements in order to be able to ride.
Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours
Maverick's Helicopters offer unique bird's-eye views of the canyon. On a helicopter tour, you can take in the spectacular sights as
your experienced, knowledgeable pilot provides information about the location you are passing. Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas are
available at various times of the day, combining aerial and ground exploration to give you an elite experience you'll never forget.
