The Grand Canyon provides a variety of adventure options for different folks. While many take to the South Rim for its spectacular views and fascinating rapids, the West is never far behind with its own unique charms. Here’s how you can make the most of your rafting tours out west. Making a rafting tour on the Grand Canyon’s West Rim inadvertently takes you to experience the great legacy of the Hualapai nation. Here, you’ll be treated to the age-old traditions of the native hunter-gatherers who have been calling the area their home for past several centuries. The Hualapai civilization of old covered no less than 5 million acres of land that stretched from the floor of the Grand Canyon all the way to the mighty Santa Maria river down south as well as from the majestic Black Mountains extending eastward all the way to the pine-forested peaks of San Francisco. Explore their values as well as their traditions that have been engraved in cave walls.
Dubbed as an engineering marvel even in present times, visiting the Hoover is like going back in time to learn more of the feats of the people who struggled to survive in the canyon’s otherwise inhospitable terrain. Yet, the dam itself is also proof of man’s resilience against any adversity. Of course, for day trippers like those served by Advantage Grand Canyon, viewing the West Rim and the rest of the Grand Canyon in all its splendor is best achieved on an aerial view of the landscape. Going on a helicopter ride hovering at several thousands of feet above the floor of the canyon will give you an entirely different perspective of this beautiful place. The Grand Canyon has many things to offer including the West Rim's very popular attractions. Give a call today: 888-244-2224 / 928-351-7711
