Enjoy a Grand Canyon tour from Las Vegas with Incredible Adventures!

We offer trips to different areas of the Grand Canyon, each providing distinct experiences.

Our Grand Canyon West Rim Tours visit the tribal lands of the Hualapai Indians. Here you can also enjoy the Grand Canyon Skywalk: a glass U-shaped bridge hanging over the precipitous canyon below! Whether traveling to the rim by air or ground, you will be treated to live-action cowboy and Indian dance performances, and will get to see some of the rich history of this area of the desert.

The Grand Canyon South Rim is a more rustic option. Enjoy the breathtaking views from Bright Angel Lodge, and experience some of the most unbelievable vistas to be found in the United States. You can even take a helicopter INTO the canyon! This is the most popular Grand Canyon destination, and when you visit you will understand why.

With so many tour options, we’re sure to have a Grand Canyon trip for you!

History

The Grand Canyon is quite literally a slice into history. Six million years ago, the mighty Colorado River began to carve away layers upon layers of 1,840 million year old rock. As the river carved down into the rock, the Colorado Plateau went through uplift and erosion, creating the stunning canyon that is seen today. 

For thousands of years, Native Americans have been settled in and around the Canyon. Today, the Hualapai, the Havasupai, the Paiutes, and the Navajo, once early residents, now manage parts of the land.

The first Spanish explorers sighted the Canyon in 1540, but it wasn’t until the 1850s, that several expeditions were led into the canyon to explore the area. In 1869, Major John Wesley Powell led his first boat expedition up to and through the Grand Canyon. It was General Powell who first started calling it, “the Grand Canyon”, instead of the “Big Canyon” as it was still known at that time.

The Grand Canyon was first federally protected as a Forest Reserve in 1893, and in 1908, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt established the area and surrounding forest lands as a National Monument. Finally in 1919, it gained National Park status. Now, the Park receives close to 5 million visitors each year.

Best Time To Visit

It’s always a good time to visit the Grand Canyon! While summer will provide you with warm weather, vivid colors, and the occasional rain storm, winter in the Grand Canyon is also spectacular. White snow sprinkled over top of the sprawling rock formations is a sight not many get to see, as it is typically less crowded in winter. Shoulder seasons, March-May and September-November, typically offer milder weather than winter and fewer crowds than summer. 

Each season brings new beauty to the canyon, and it is always well worth a visit!
