‪Grand’ Canyon West Rim is a well organized tourist trap. Reviews indicate it is same or better as Grand Canyon south Rim which is the biggest lie ever. There are 2 observation points only and a family of 4 has to pay 160 USD to enter while in Grand Canyon South Rim you enter for a 35 USD allowing 7 days entry with a car and you can walk for endless trails. As a further element there is no real restaurant or market in the Grand Canyon west Rim in a radio is of 2 hours drive, so you are trapped with the low quality and expensive fast food offered there all of which close between 4 to 6 pm. Only one recommendation: avoid Grand Canyon West Rim at all cost!!‬

‪Complete Rip Off do the helicopter ride instead‬

العائلة •

‪Complete rip off. We couldn't go on the sky walk as it was closed. Paid over 300 dollars for a family of 5 to take a coach to the skywalk and not even able to see down into the canyon. We did the helicopter ride last time we were in Vegas and I would definitely recommend doing that rather then the west rim as you see so much more.‬

‪Do not go there!‬

العائلة •

‪Felt like a scheme. Waited in the sun at 110f for hours with a hundred people in line and no buses or shuttles. The people there just don’t care and all they are looking for is your money. Do not go there and you will thank me.‬

‪Average Trip Beautiful Scenery‬

‪Average Trip. We were in Vegas for a family trip and decided to drive to the Grand Canyon West since it was closer than the National Park. There were 13 people in our group and the ages ranged from 72-5 months. The first thing that bothered me was the prices. Although online it says prices may change I was expecting to see the prices posted when we arrived. The prices posted in the ticket center when we arrived were not the prices they were charging when we arrived. When I asked the ticket agent about it she said they the prices change daily. (She actually seemed bothered when I asked how much the tickets were a piece because she was just punching in numbers and I could not tell. Our group did have seniors, children and adults) It does seem as if they just randomly charge since they don’t post the “todays” price anywhere. After that happened I decided to go back and look at the reviews and noticed that several other people mentioned that. I normally read reviews so that was my fault for not knowing that. The views were amazing and you are able to jump on and off at the various stops but Some of the bus drivers were not very friendly and we did have to wait quite a while for buses. We didn’t eat the food there so I can not give input on that. Overall it was a nice visit.‬

‪Grand Canyon west rim sky walk beware- tourists trap‬

‪8/4/22 travel beware, felt like we got suck into a tourist trap and no way out but suck it up to their mercy, cost of the ticket change without notice. (Family of 4 had to $77 each, plus tax. I think I writing is going to be deleted as this point.

Travel 2hrs plus from Vegas to get to this trap, like everyone said big parking lot then go to tent to pay. Wait in line for about 3 buses (20+ minutes) then bus take you to the sky rim. We’ll hope for better as I type this while waiting for bus and in line.

Again must do your own search to prepare yourself when head to this place. Happy travel and be safe‬

‪Go to Grand Canyon West!‬

العائلة •

‪Loved every moment at Grand Canyon West - from the Skywalk experience to the Hualapai tacos. Joshua trees, scenic views, well- organized shuttles, and friendly staff made our day incredible! We drove from Las Vegas, and the beautiful geography on the drive, itself, was amazing.‬

‪A beautiful sight, ruined by greed and laziness.‬

‪Absolutely stunning views rescue this trip, but the Hualupai milk their monopoly mercilessly and stupidly. It should be easy to put on enough buses to minimise queues, but they don’t, so you can stand for ages in the heat, and the whole layout of the operation, particularly at the entry station, seems designed to herd the unsuspecting traveller to a point of no return. After that, every stage is either closed, or offers terrible food and expensive drinks, served by people who apparently wish they weren’t there. The whole place seems to be an employment scheme for the few Hualupai who lack the gumption to leave the reservation. It could be amazing, and it really is unmissable, but my goodness they try to ruin it for you. More than anything, they need to pretend they have some competition and start trying a bit harder: they could treble their throughput and keep everyone happy. Don’t hold your breath.

Still, at least my daughters now understand why monopolies are bad.‬

‪Great views still a miserable experience.‬

‪You cannot take away from the unbelievable view it is amazing. However, the organisation is chaotic and you will spend your day in one queue or another. It turned what should have been a great day into a miserable one. The staff were also really rude. ‬

‪A day trip from vegas to see the GC, fine, otherwise save your money and keep going to GCNP‬

العائلة •

‪Some of the views were spectacular so if you want to see the GC on a day trip, go for it. If you’re touring onto the National park then avoid it. We felt like the whole place was on the take. The guy at reception at the start was so dismissive and unfriendly. We waited for ages and ages for shuttle buses in the heat. Then we stood in line for ages and ages for the skywalk only to be told we couldn’t bring our phones/cameras so they could charge us for photos they took instead. We declined. Food was awful. But the views and Canyon - wonderful!‬

‪Must-do, bucket list experience if visiting Vegas!‬

‪Having read other reviews and seeing a lot of negative comments, I thought that I’d write my own review and recommendations if you are thinking of visiting here.

I am reviewing this from the perspective of someone vacationing in Las Vegas for several days and who does not come from the area (in other words, someone unlikely to have access to any of the various locations around the Grand Canyon unless visiting specifically for that reason).

I recommend taking a daily bus tour from Vegas (there are many choices) and if you are on a budget then you can opt out of overpaying for food at Grand Canyon West -just pack a tasty lunch and snacks. Similarly, there’s no need to pay for the Skywalk/photos if you don’t want to either. So, if you are complaining afterwards about spending money on these things, then you didn’t do your homework in advance! Don’t be surprised that this is a “tourist trap” -it is a moneymaking enterprise for the Hualapai Reservation, I don’t think we can deny them that opportunity to be honest. Speaking of the Hualapai people/employees, we personally found them to be friendly and happy to engage… bless them all.

My one major complaint would be the frequency of the buses that ferry visitors between the 3 main areas…. When we first arrived, there was a HUUUUGE lineup of people waiting to start their adventure, and not a single bus in sight for almost half an hour… yet there were empty buses sitting nearby with no drivers. Not a good look.

The views are stunning, save Guano Point until the end -by far the best views are there, absolutely stunning!! Top tip: try to capture video of a helicopter as it passes through… when you show the video to your friends back home, they can truly see the scale of the Grand Canyon for themselves -regular photos cannot do it justice.

Based on other reviews, it is possible that even more stunning views are possible at Grand Canyon South or North… but again, West is the best location for Vegas vacationers, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed at all. This was an experience that I’ll never forget until the day I die.‬

I have some concerns about the parking lot shuttle during Covid. How long is the ride? Is the shuttle well ventilated? Do they enforce capacity limits that allow social distancing? Is there an option to walk from the lot to the viewing area or is it too far? Thanks in advance!

4 مساهمات

Rides are 10 mins. I don’t know if it was ventilated. The bus was full, but no one standing. No option that I saw to walk it’s 3-4 miles between stops. Masks were required but not heavily enforced.

Hello. How long did it take you to tour the whole thing? thank you

GrandCanyonSkywalk

‪Peach Springs‬, ‪Arizona‬

Hello, We recommend allowing yourself at least 3 hours to experience the three stops on the tour. If you are trying to do additional activities such as the Zip Line or Helicopter-Boat Tour, then you will want to add between 1 - 4 hours to your time at Grand Canyon West, depending on the specific tour you book.

hi, arriving at late December (28th) - what rim should I go for sunrise and sunset photography? also, how long it will take from vegas this time of the year?

Carol210

‪Burke‬, فيرجينيا797 مساهمة

I haven't been to the south rim and can't answer whether the sunrise/sunsets would be better. The west rim, which is on Hualapai Indian Reservation, is the closest to Vegas and would take little over 2 hours drive. We have souvenir pictures of sunrise and sunset from the Skywalk. You don't have to go on the Skywalk if you don't want to get shots over the canyon but can do so from the edge as well.
