Grand Canyon Trip Itinerary: 3 Days

Your Grand Canyon vacation begins with a scenic flight from Las Vegas, over Lake Mead and the western section of the Grand Canyon. On the north rim of the canyon, you will delight in a thrilling helicopter ride from the remote landing strip down into the depths of the Grand Canyon on the edge of the Colorado River. Here, the Colorado River’s famous rapids, though still exciting, are a bit tamer. Scenery in the lower 100 miles of the Grand Canyon is astounding. Massive sandstone cliffs conjure up imaginary shapes. Hidden waterfalls and pools carve their way down to the river. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of elusive Blue Heron, soaring hawks and eagles, and majestic Big Horn sheep. At night, the canyon walls unveil a heaven of innumerable stars. To top it off, Western’s Grand Canyon 3-day rafting trip offers easy access from Las Vegas, Nevada. Come join Western River Expeditions on an incredible and unforgettable Grand Canyon journey.
