The West Rim offers a very unique canyon sightseeing experience. The nearest region of the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas, visitors can enjoy a short and scenic flight and spend an entire day exploring the West Rim. This is the only area of the canyon where helicopters can land all the way on the very bottom near the Colorado River, an experience that can be added to your flight from Las Vegas to the West Rim. You can even enjoy a boat ride between the colossal canyon walls when you land on the canyon floor.

The West Rim is also home to the world-famous Skywalk – a glass-bottomed bridge that extends 70 feet past the canyon’s edge. Visitors to the West Rim can stand over a mile above the canyon floor atop this incredible bridge and from across the gorge see Eagle Point, an incredible rock formation that resembles an eagle taking flight.

Shuttle transportation can also take you to Guano Point, a long bluff offering 360-degree views of the stone walls and the Colorado River below. Discover all of these fantastic views from the sky and from the ground on a tour to the Grand Canyon's West Rim.
