The Grand Canyon


 

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.
