Are you planning to be in Las Vegas this Valentine's Day? Vegas is an exciting place to be, and there's much more to see than just the casinos and restaurants along The Strip. You could take a bus tour to the Grand Canyon's West Rim or South Rim, but you'll have to get in quick, because tickets are selling out fast.
Bus tours depart at 7 a.m. and usually take about between 12-14 hours to finish so please allow a full day to do them. The route to the Canyon also includes driving by Lake Mead and there's even a 15-minute photo-stop at Hoover Dam.
Touring The West Rim
Closest to Vegas, is the West Rim. It takes only two and a half hours to get there from the city. Here there are some great viewing platforms and walkways, with the most famous platform being the Skywalk. This glass footbridge extends 70ft from the rim, and will have you staring in amazement as you stand 4000ft above the bottom.
You have several options when it comes to touring the West Rim. The bus gets you to the West Rim, and from there you can add on the adventures you want to have. Some popular things to do include a scenic float trip on the Colorado River and a thrilling helicopter descent to the Canyon floor.
There's a basic, no-frills West Rim tour that basically gets you to the Park so you can explore it at your own pace. Then there are the more deluxe packages that come with a helicopter ride to the bottom or a boat trip down the Colorado River.
South Rim
Just like at the West Rim, you can choose from basic or more inclusive packages. The basic bus tour will have you exploring the area from the ground, and there are also helicopter tours available. The 30 minute helicopter will take you all the way to the remote North Rim, and back again.
All Fees Included
All-Inclusive
Bus tours are budget friendly. Out of all the Canyon tours available, a bus tour is the most affordable, yet you still have the option to add on other activities that cost more such as VIP passes to the Skywalk or a helicopter flight.
The days on and around Valentine's Day, are some of the busiest of the year. This means that you will have to book early, and I recommend booking at least two weeks in advance. This will ensure that your seats are locked in. When you book online, you will get the best deals, just make sure that you complete your purchase with a credit card so that you can take advantage of the lower prices.
Wrapping Up
I hope that this article has inspired you to take a Valentine's Day trip that will be remembered for a lifetime. The Grand Canyon is an incredibly romantic place, and there are few parks that offer the same level of beauty and adventure. I love the bottom landing Helicopter add-on at the West Rim, and the South Rim is made even better when you take a short flight to the North Rim. Whatever you end up choosing, remember to enjoy the day, book online, and book with your credit card for the best price. If you thought Las Vegas was special, just wait until you head out to the Grand Canyon!
