Sunset Staff in Partnership with Grand Canyon West The top western destination can be an easy inspiring day trip or an epic immersion in nature and culture. Here are three ways to experience the accessible wonders of Grand Canyon West. Just pick your comfort level and go Grand, Grander, or Grandest! Grand: Bucket List Day Trip The Plan: Selfie on the Skywalk, Brave the Zipline, Helicopter Birdâs Eye View Youâre 4,000 feet above the floor of the Grand canyon, nothing between you but glass, and you couldnât be happier. Thatâs the thrill of the Skywalk, the horseshoe shaped glass bridge youâve likely seen on the Instagram feed of your socially savvy nomadic friends. Just 2 hours from Vegas itâs a thrill that tops the bright lights of the Strip. Yes itâs about having your mind blown by an amazing view of the Grand Canyon with that life-changing scale and unparalleled beauty. And yes itâs about taking a killer photo youâll share on your socials. But consider getting closer to the action on the Zip Line that speeds 40 miles per hour over a side canyon on Hualapai Ranch. If you donât have the time or desire to hike down into the canyon itself, the Zip Line has two routes with several thousand feet of line that drop you into a spectacular side canyon. Itâs a thrilling way to get up close and personal with the canyon. The ultimate two-for-one day trip move is to splurge on a helicopter tour for sweeping birds-eye views of the canyon, crowned with a pontoon ride on the Colorado River.
