Tour The Grand Canyon From Las Vegas

It is best to leave the driving and tour arrangements to a professional touring company that is familiar with the area if you are to make the most of your Grand Canyon tour. Even though being in Las Vegas does put you within driving distance of the park, you are not going to want to drive for all that time and then have no energy for exploration of the park itself. If you trust a touring company to provide you with the best places to go and see, you are sure to see all the best areas and not miss any, while still not having to worry about driving an unfamiliar car all that way and relying on maps to tell you the best spots. Las Vegas has more than a few companies that provide a direct pickup from your hotel room and all of the arrangements.

The Grand Canyon must be seen to be believed. No pictures do justice to the sheer majesty of the scenery, and the lush aspects of the canyon itself. However some people may fall for a marketing ploy that takes them to a different area of the canyon that is not as beautiful. This is unfortunate, but an area outside of the national park grounds has been developed as a tourist attraction of its own. Visitors to Las Vegas must ask the tour company if they are visiting the actual national park or another area in order to get the best experience possible. If you choose right, the trip should be around four hours, and you will be visiting the actual national park.
