GRAND CANYON WEST & SKYWALK: Ultimate Travel Guide

Everything you need to know to visit the Grand Canyon West, home of the famous Grand Canyon Sky Walk. Operated by the Hualapai Native American Tribe most well known for the iconic Skywalk, a glass bridge that extends out over the rim of the canyon. And for being close (2 hours) to Vegas. Great spot for epic views, hikes, helicopter tours, rafting trips down the Colorado River, native American cultural exhibits, and a zipline too!

    I loved my trip to skywalk. We definitely were one of the very first people there, and we had all the time we wanted almost by ourselves and guano point. We must’ve spent 45 minutes walking around that viewpoint. It was incredible. I highly recommend this trip for Vegas visitors all priced very fairly. Also think of the money you would have spent on the strip if you hadn’t made a day trip to the Grand Canyon.

    That looks quite expensive! I'm glad to hear though the the views from the skywalk are really cool though, so I could see myself spending the money to go there instead of spending anything on the casinos in Vegas. The frybread taco looked amazing! I remember having something similar in South Dakota several years ago, and I really enjoyed it.

    Thank you for this! I’m visiting my husband working in Vegas next week and he gets one day off, meaning this is our only option for the Grand Canyon. I was weary because of other bad reviews. We aren’t going to want to do any of the extras, and you couldn’t pay me to get on the skywalk, so for just the entrance fee I’m looking forward to it!!

    Chris, I'd be interested to know how you compare the views, beauty, etc. of Grand Canyon West to the aesthetics of the Grand Canyon National Park around the South Rim Visitors Center. I haven't yet had a chance to visit GCNP, though I'm sure I will at some point. I did visit Grand Canyon West as a day trip during a Vegas vacation about 10 years ago. We did a package tour that included bus transportation and helicopter rides to the bottom of the canyon and back, with a short cruise on the river. The Skywalk was an option that we declined after being thoroughly satisfied with the views we had from the copters and from the peaks at Guano Point.

    Since you recorded this several months ago,I was curious to ask this: how do you decide WHAT gets released WHEN? In other words, why were some of the videos from this late 2023-very early 2024 videos released almost immediately and others have been sprinkled occasionally ever since (like, what about this material had you leaving it until now to release it?…mind you, not complaining in the slightest! I’m just really curious about your process!)

    Thanks for the question Ed. Next week's live stream is going to be more about my process.. honestly that's how long it's taken to edit this video. I'm working through this Tri Canyon series at a rate of about 1 per week.. and yes.. with other videos sprinkled in that are more time critical because they are seasonal.

    Hi Thank you for this amazing video. My family and I will be visiting Vegas in a few weeks, and we are planning a day trip to the Grand Canyon via a bus tour. We are confused about which option to select-either the west rim or the south rim. Both look great, but I wanted to know which one you would recommend for our first visit.

  • @YellowProductions

    @YellowProductions

    Day trip from Vegas I'd do West because it's closer.. 2.5 hours each way instead of 4 hours each way.. if you were going to overnight I'd do the South rim
