GRAND CANYON -- About 300 miles (480 km.) from Las Vegas, 1 1/2
hour flight by plane, is The Grand Canyon National Park. This is
one of the very best known natural attractions in the entire U.S.A.
It is about 277 miles long, 10 miles wide and 1 mile deep, and
presents as an amazing spectacle of technicolour rock strata. Its
many peaks and buttes and its meandering rims offer access to incredible
views. The best way to experience at first hand the awesome nature
of the Grand Canyon is to hike down its majestic slopes. However
for those who prefer something less energetic fly-over trips can
be arranged from Las Vegas.
