    The Grand Canyon Skywalk is only about 2 hours from Vegas. The North Rim Lodge is about 2 hours and 15 minutes from Vegas. April is tough for the North Rim Lodge because the road is usually snowed in and closed. They plow the roads on the South Rim, so it is open all year long. The Canyon is really long, 400 km.

    The bottom of the Grand Canyon is full of life. The Colorado River carved this over millions of years. And where there's water there's life. It's an absolute must to take a trip to the river and go rafting. If not rafting then hiking. Looking from the top is amazing but going to the bottom is the experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend it if you have the time. Day tripping is a look from the top and shorter hikes around the rims. It's vast. It's beautiful. And the United States has so much more to see than just the Canyon. You will be awestruck with every National Park you can fit in your trip.

    For the Vegas trip, might I suggest flying into Phoenix and then driving to Vegas? The Grand Canyon is on the way as is Hoover Dam which is also pretty cool.
    For Orlando, there is a place called Gatorland Zoo that is just as the name suggests a zoo for alligators - over 2000 of them!

Hikes from the rim down to the deepest point & back could take about 12 hours down and up when you're taking pictures and resting. You can also do burro rides, guided tours down there. There's an Indian Reservation in one section of the canyon with one hotel....no motor cars or even a place to drive on in and out.

    I live in southern Arizona (the Grand Canyon state). I love where I live, it's always amazing. I do "pine" for grass and trees sometimes... but not enough to leave!
    The Grand Canyon is almost indescribable, videos and photos just don't do it justice. If you'll be in Vegas you'll only be about a 4 hours drive away from the Grand Canyon, just sayin'. At the bottom of the canyon is the Colorado River.
    When you go to Vegas, keep in mind when your there the need to drink a LOT of water. The dry climate will sneak up on you SO fast, you don't even realize it until it's a problem. Certainly if you do any hiking in the Vegas area or surrounding desert, bring way more water than you think you'll need. It's surprisingly common to have tourists unfamiliar with the arid climate need to be rescued because of dehydration.

  • @DonnaRe4
    @DonnaRe4 Před měsícem

    The length of a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon depends on the trail you take and the rim you start from:
    South Rim
    The South Kaibab Trail is 6.8 miles to Bright Angel Campground, and the Bright Angel Trail is 9.3 miles. Most hikers take 4-5 hours to reach the campground on either trail. The hike down to the river from the South Rim can take about 5 hours, and the hike back up can take about 15 hours. Trails from the South Rim are usually shorter, steeper, and more crowded than trails from the North Rim.
    North Rim
    The North Kaibab Trail descends 14.3 miles and 6,000 feet to the river. The descent can take closer to 8 hours, and the hike back up can take 20+ hours depending on fitness. Trails from the North Rim are longer, more circuitous, and less maintained than trails from the South Rim.

    There is a river that runs at the bottom, but to hike down that far takes a few hours for most People... I personally would recommend renting a Mule, but that's just me.
    Not many people know this, but deep down in the Canyon, a tribe of Indians makes it their home. They hunt and gather for most of their food to this day, as it takes so long (even by boat) to get supplies from the outside world.
    If you ever travel to see it, I would suggest renting a cabin or room at one of the lodges and taking a few days to really soak it all in.

    It's crazy to be standing on the edge of the canyon and see tiny microscopic specks in lower parts of the canyon that you can tell are people. The scale is truly hard to comprehend even when you're standing right in front of it. I highly recommend it.
    From an Arizona native, if you are thinking of hiking down inside the canyon be aware that it gets very hot inside the canyon. People think because it's in northern Arizona it will be cool, but it can get up to 100 degrees down there. People who aren't acclimated to the heat are vulnerable to making silly decisions because they just lack the knowledge that's common to us. Listen to the park rangers, they are trying to avoid having to get your body hoisted out of there later.

    When you go to the Grand Canyon and look down at the Colorado River, your mind sees all of the "bushes" lining the river. In fact, those are full grown trees. The sheer magnitude of the size can't be appreciated from a CZcams video. You "might" get some kind of sense of the scale in an IMAX theater, but nothing will compare to actually seeing it. The average depth of the Grand Canyon is about 4000 feet and is 6000 feet depth at its deepest. It is 277 miles long.

If I recall it was about a 6 hour drive in each direction, and we were there for like 30 minutes. It was cool for sure, but we just took a few photos and drove back. A Helicopter tour from Vegas would be way cooler. The Hoover Damn was incredible though. Great stop along the way.

    Unfortunately for their entire nearly 10 minute video they only showed 30 seconds of Grand Canyon views! Hopefully you'll soon see more, it's just incredibly beautiful, and you need to see a view where you see the Colorado River in the bottom, the river that carved the Grand Canyon!

    Pro tip: Most chain gas stations and grocery stores have member cards that are attached to a phone number for discount prices. When traveling, use the number from Tommy 2 Tone's song 'Jenny' with the area code you are in as the alternate ID. Works every time.

    At the bottom of the canyon is the Colorado River, which carved the canyon over millions of years. In some locations there are actually white sand beaches with turquoise water. There are also white water rapids.

    Except for the first week of the month (spring break), April is a pretty good time to visit the Grand Canyon--less crowded. For future trips, I'd also suggest you put Crater Lake, Oregon and a drive to the summit of Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii on your bucket list of other-worldly American scenic destinations.

    Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon is 130 miles. At the bottom is the Colorado River.
    I’m 76 and first saw the Grand Canyon at sunrise when I was 15 (1963). I now live in beautiful Colorado close to Rocky Mountain National Park.

    I've lived in Arizona for about 7 years and have yet to see the Grand Canyon. I will say, though, my roommate who is born and raised in Arizona took me on a scenic drive once and it was cool watching the land go from desert to plains to mountains/forest. There may be a lot of things I despise about my country, but the land itself is so beautiful and diverse.

  • @emefrench8984

    I definitely recommend a visit to the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada. I would highly recommend adding Utah to your itinerary as they are in the same region. If you love nature and unimaginable sights these are states to visit. So much to see and do especially if you enjoy the outdoors. You will go home with a treasure trove of magnificent photos/videos and memories to last a lifetime. There is so much more to see in these three states. Rent a car, the states are right next to each other!!

    The Grand Canyon looks amazing in photos and videos but it doesn't even scratch the surface in how overwhelmingly beautiful it is. I took a tour from las vegas and it included taking a 12 seat plane down inside of the canyon. This tour also included the Mohave Dessert and the Hoover Dam. On another trip to Vegas I went to Bryce National Park and into Utah. Even within Las Vegas is another beautiful place called Red Rock Canyon. It is literally very close to The Strip in Vegas. My job was so amazing as I traveled a lot in and out of the US. I always tried to stay in my location to see the place and learn about the local culture. I loved every minute of it.

    I was 18 years old flying to Los Angeles and the pilot announced folks coming up is the Grand Canyon. 35 thousand miles up in the sky we were able to see this awesome view. It was silent as we took in God’s great creation. We did not fly over the Canyon no one is allowed but it was huge and the colors were vivid. America is huge and blessed with beauty.

    Never got to visit when I lived for a few years in Arizona, but seen some other nice views! Visited the observatory they discovered Pluto at. Tonto Natural Bridge is cool too. My favourite views was Sedona, though. Imagine all that rock in the video, but a vibrant red.

  • @karenmitting7181
    @karenmitting7181 Před měsícem

    Dude, there’s an incredible river (Colorado River) that runs through the bottom of the Grand Canyon. In fact it is water erosion over millennia that has created the Grand Canyon. Hope you get there one day. It’s possible to visit from Las Vegas if you are keen.

    I live about 3.5 hours from the Grand Canyon. When visitors come, they want to see it. There are a number of ways to see it, but tours is a good recommendation because you do not deal with the parking issues, particularly during peak season (summertime). There is even a tour which takes you on a train being pulled by an old fashioned steam locomotive which will "take you back" to the early West days. Once at the Canyon, you will have a bus/coach tour without worrying about parking. You can have lunch included in the same package.
    Hiking in the desert is diffierent. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ENOUGH WATER, and stay on the trail!!! Every year we hear of visitors who fall from after crossing the railing on the trail, or they do not take enough water and die of dehydration. It is VERY dry here in Arizona. Here in Phoenix during late Spring and early Summer, we get humdity in the single digits. That is really dry. There are other things to see while in the general vicinity, such as Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon. My sister--in-law thought Oak Creek Canyon was more beautiful than the Grand Canyon.

  • @colinbaxter4732
    @colinbaxter4732 Před měsícem

    Oh and since you are going to be in Vegas, you’re actually not that far from the Grand Canyon. There are helicopter tours… but I would recommend just renting a car and making a day trip to drive there and back. It’s only about 250 miles and a 4.5 hour trip. And while our gas (petrol) is high by our standards. It is probably waaaaaay cheaper by comparison to what you pay in Ireland. I’m in California and we have some of the highest gas prices in the country because of regulations. We are currently paying between $4.50-$5.00 a gallon. In other parts of the country it’s anywhere from $1.00-$1.50 cheaper per gallon.

    I could be wrong as I haven't been to Orlando Florida in about 20 years, and things may have changed since then, but I had a blast going to Medieval Times, so I'd recommend checking that out, assuming they're still around.
    If it's anything like it was back in the day, you go there to eat in a big stadium while watching things like jousting matches and sword fights. Pretty cool, or at least it was when I went. Most of my time was spent at whatever Disney park was there, though, so I don't know of many other places to visit or things to do (especially since, like all things Disney, the parks have really gone down hill over the years).

  • @cherihabegger9856
    @cherihabegger9856 Před měsícem

    I hope you get to see all of these places someday. If you are going to Vegas you aren't very far away from the Grand Canyon. Also just to get out of the city and into the desert around Vegas is so special. If you have time to travel across the border into California, Kings Canyon is spectacular with Giant Sequoias.

  • @felixthecat580
    @felixthecat580 Před měsícem

    First of all why the Grand Canyon exists is really interesting in my opinion. At the bottom of that canyon is what remains of the Colorado river, though it was once much bigger. The canyon was made over millions and millions of years by erosion from the river. Also, the roads are so good because it's in the desert. Road's deteriorate mostly based of temperatures changing during the seasons and water expanding and contracting as it changes to Ice. The tons of salt we put on the roads in some snowy areas of the country makes it worse. In Chicago where I'm from, the roads don't stay in that condition more than like a year or two max? It's not because they are made poorly, it's just mother nature. If I missed anything please comment!

    The couple in this video only went down 10percent of the way. When i visited in May, the rim had snow, we started at 6am, took us until 3 to dip our feet in the colorado river, and climbed back to the rim by 11pm. We were so entranced with the color changes and the sun light and moon light playing against the canyon walls. So beautiful.

    The American the Beautiful Pass can be used at any federally owned site as well as National Parks, like National Landmarks, trailhead fees, at hiking trails in National Forest and BLM ( Bureau of Land Management) land, it covers some camping fees also, or gets you a discount on camping fees. A great deal!

    Absolutely beautify, not really far from Las Vegas, the drive in is The Painted Desert. I and visited several times. As a kid, nothing like cooking breakfast at the rim at sun rise (best breakfast in my lifetime). I have also hiked down and back (longest walk I have ever done).

    When in Orlando, it isn't very close but you could go the Everglades National park. Take an airboat tour to vast pools of alligators. 🤣 There are lots of poisonous snakes there too. And spiders including the Red Widow which is feared almost as much as the Black Widow. Okay, so I'm teasing. But do try the Everglades if you have some time. There are stretches of US highways you won't like.
