Grand Canyon

[Jinxbreaker]

Going out to Vegas for my 50th in May with some buddies and really thinking of going to Grand Canyon for the first time and wanted to see if anyone has done any of the tours. Leaning towards the one the Flys,copter and boat ride and takes 7.5 hours( gambling is important as we are only there for 4 days. Lol). Any info would be helpful and is the walkway a must do? The tour we are leaning towards does not have it but want to get away from a effing bus ride. Thanks

Why not rent a car and then go do your own thing wherever you want? There's no question in my mind that's what I would do. You can search google for trip reports from people who did the same and what they did and how they went about it. I know it's out there because I've read these reports before. Just keep changing your search terms until you find what you need. I don't like tours, I like doing my own thing at my own pace.

It would be a lot cheaper doing your own thing, wouldn't have to deal with masses of people on the same tour, pace yourself, bring the food and beverages of your choice, and much more adventurous.

If nothing else, use google earth and plot your own course. Or just try google maps with satellite.

There ya go, but you can still do it yourself without paying the premium for a map and itinerary.

And if they are charging $169pp, they are simply out of their minds.

Skip Vegas entirely and hike down and then back up out of the Grand Canyon. I've done it twice--been to the canyon many times and its by far my favorite way to see it.

BTW, I turn 50 this fall. Wife and I are going to Italy this summer.
