Grand Canyon, AZ

A bus picked us up at the back of Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas at around 6:00am then proceeded to their deployment station. We were segregated from West Rim tour and paid our tour package. After that, we had a light breakfast. A photo stop at Hoover Dam. Comfort stop in Kingsman Arizona. Then proceeded National Geographic Visitor Center to watch the Grand Canyon IMAX movie before proceeding to the South Rim.

A bus tour takes 14 hours (of which you'll spend 2 - 3 hours at your destination). We arrived back in Las Vegas at around 9:00pm.

The breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, is like nothing else you will ever experience.





How the Canyon Came to be the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is probably the world’s most spectacular example of the power of erosion. Scientists estimate Grand Canyon began forming 6 million years ago with the downward cutting (erosion) of the Colorado River, which flows through the Canyon. The work is by no means finished. The powerful forces of the river, rain, snow, heat, frost and wind are still sculpting the fantastic shapes of precipitous bluffs and towering buttes.
