Grand Canyon
Here's a guest article about the Grand Canyon. Keep the articles coming to jtrotta@gmail.com!
Having visited the Grand Canyon and the Las Vegas area numerous times myself, I can testify to the fact that it is truly an enlightening experience which is both rewarding and interesting.
The Grand Canyon is more than a pit carved throughout time in the Colorado plateau. It evokes thoughts in our minds of life, living, and death. The Grand Canyon transcends time -- evades it. Visiting such a mystical and enchanting place, found on our very own American soil is a gift and a privilege.
Over five million people visit this famous landmark yearly. Of these five million, three million will visit the South Rim, 750,000 will visit the North Rim, and 800,000 will fly over this magnificent Canyon on an Air Tour.
Many types of tours of the Canyon are available for purchase. You may also visit the Canyon yourself, but you will not experience many of the breathtaking vistas and experiences granted by professional tours.
The most popular of the Grand Canyon tours are those by air. In 1967, Scenic Tours flew their first airborne Grand Canyon tour. To this day, Scenic Tours continue to serve tourists with an amazing experience which will be remembered for a lifetime. Touring aircraft are equipped with large “Vista” windows which allow for an amazing wide-angle viewing experience. Also available are helicopter tours which will allow you to get closer views, and even make stops at places unreachable by foot.
Also popular are Jeep tours which begin in the Kaibab National Forest and complete at the Grand Canyon. Many special features are included in these trips, including the ability for participants to climb a sixty-foot tall watch tower atop the ridge of the Canyon.
Another extremely popular tour are the “Mule Tours.” Ride atop the back of a Mule along the ridge of the Canyon and experience breathtaking views. One and two-day tours are currently available, starting from just over $100! Be sure to book your tour well in advance, as many travel agents report that these Mule tours are booked out over six months in advance.
A visit to the Grand Canyon is surely an experience neither you nor members of your family will forget for ages to come! Enjoy a once in a lifetime experience at an extremely affordable price. Contact your local travel agent for information on a Grand Canyon tour, or book one yourself.

Posted by: Randy at July 20, 2005 2:33 PMI myself have visted the State of Arizona and one other way to see the Grand Canyon is by train. It as some breath taking views along the way and on the return trip there is sometimes a train robbery (all in fun of course)Just the drive from Texas to Arizona is breath taking along Interstate 40.
