Stop 2: Grand Canyon West Rim


The Grand Canyon’s West Rim offers breathtaking views that are slightly different from the more famous South Rim. Here, the rugged, red rock formations create a stunning contrast with the deep blue sky and the Colorado River winding below.

At the West Rim, you’ll have multiple vantage points to explore:

  • Eagle Point: Named for the rock formation resembling an eagle in flight, this viewpoint offers spectacular panoramic views of the canyon. It’s also home to the Skywalk (more on that later), a must-do for thrill-seekers!
  • Guano Point: A slightly lesser-known but equally stunning viewpoint, Guano Point offers 360-degree views of the canyon. This is a perfect spot for more adventurous explorers who want to hike a bit and take in the raw beauty of the Grand Canyon.


Both of these viewpoints offer excellent opportunities for photography, relaxation, and soaking in the sheer magnitude of the canyon.

Optional Upgrade: The Skywalk Experience


For those who want an extra thrill, you have the option to upgrade to the Skywalk experience. The Skywalk is a glass bridge that extends 70 feet out from the canyon’s edge, offering you the chance to walk out over the canyon with nothing but a sheet of glass between you and a 4,000-foot drop to the canyon floor below.

This adrenaline-pumping experience provides a unique perspective of the canyon and is not for the faint of heart. As you step onto the transparent glass, you’ll feel a mix of awe and excitement, knowing that you're standing on one of the world’s most impressive feats of engineering.

Visitors who choose the Skywalk will have their photos taken by a professional photographer, as personal cameras are not allowed on the bridge for safety reasons. You’ll be able to purchase these photos as a keepsake of your daring experience.
