This hike is not for anyone with a fear of heights. The clincher for most hikers is the last half-mile to the top that I show on the video, where you must climb along a narrow ridge that has dizzing drop-offs on both sides of about 1500 feet. Six people have fallen to their deaths in the past several years but my guess is your greater risk was the drive to the Zion National Park so be safe and I hope you enjoy the video. Have a great day!

Vegas is a great place to plan a trip to the canyon. You got the West Rim and the South Rim to choose from. Daily departures. Lots of great combo trips (boat ride, Skywalk, ATV trips), too. So take a click here and take a heli ride over this Seventh Wonder of the World.
Grand Canyon Bus
The most economical way to see the Grand Canyon? The bus, of course. These luxury motor coaches get you there in comfort and style. All-inclusive, they come with lunch and free hotel shuttle service. Grand Canyon bus tours are a great day trip. This is definitely a "must-do" Las Vegas activity.
Grand Canyon Airplanes
Take a canyon plane ride and see it in comfort. These flight are fast, too. From Vegas, the South Rim is just 45 minutes! Planes seat up to 19 people and are have been customized from nose to tail for sightseeing. Take a Grand Canyon plane ride and you'll see in 50 minutes what would take days on the ground.
Looking for a fabulous Vegas activity? Take a helicopter! Choppers are the only way to see The Strip, The West Rim, Hoover Dam and more! Nothing beats getting airborne when visiting Sin City. Go here for more information about taking a helicopter ride over the City of Entertainmet.
