The Grand Canyon attracts visitors from around the world. The vast open space is characterized by colorful vistas, steep walls a mile high and the rush of the Colorado River in the southwest basin. There are many ways to enjoy the canyon, including day and extended hikes, river raft rides and mule treks into the interior. For travelers in Las Vegas, several companies offer convenient overnight plane and coach tours to the Grand Canyon.
