What Are the Best Grand Canyon West Activities?
The distance from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon West is just 125 miles - or a 70-minute helicopter flight! Property of the Hualapai Tribe, this region is home to breathtaking lookout points such as Eagle Point and Guano Point, the glass-bottomed Skywalk bridge, and Hualapai Point - a Native American cultural center with activities, shopping, and food. Shuttle service can transport you to each of these locations, so you can experience the entire park during your West Rim tour. You can even travel to the canyon floor aboard a Papillon helicopter tour!

Walk the Skywalk Bridge
Eagle Point at Grand Canyon West houses the Hualapai's world-famous Skywalk. This horseshoe shaped, glass-bottomed structure floats over the canyon floor, allowing visitors to feel as if they're are walking on air thousands of feet above the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River below. Several Grand Canyon West tours include Skywalk entry in their package.
More Grand Canyon West Attractions
Aside from the beautiful scenery, there's plenty to do at the Grand Canyon West. Hop on the local free shuttle and visit Hualapai Point, where you can shop for authentic Native American crafts, eat at the Hualapai-inspired Gwe-Ma’jo restaurant, or wander the nearby hiking and biking trails. Meet and greet members of the Hualapai tribe and learn more about their history in this area. You can even ride the zipline or try your skill in the shooting gallery!
The shuttle can also take you to Guano Point, a massive stone peninsula that extends toward the center of the Grand Canyon. You can find beautiful 360-degree views here, or you can climb the summit at the end for an even more impressive viewpoint!
