Grand Canyon Tours with the Grand Canyon Tour Company of Las Vegas - Grand Canyon Tours, Hoover Dam (2040007) / travel, hotel and booking InformationAs Bruce says, My main idea is to paint scenes that say, I was here. I saw this. This is a first-hand experience. Grand Canyon is not only big and beautiful, it s pristine living.....it s still wild to me. hotel booking Indeed, no other artist has captured the wild, eternal essence of Grand Canyon in the way Bruce Aiken does.

Ken McNamara About Video ?Order Video Artist Bruce Aiken Photographer
John Blaustein Artist Fred Lucas Photographer SOA cheap hotel The Corridor Trails A note from Ken McNamara See me in the
picture I m the one on the left. My life is about to take
an unexpected turn - and I don t even have a clue. A few
minutes after this picture was taken I stepped below the rim of
the Grand Canyon for the first time. I suppose that every life
has its defining events - for me it was that first hike into
the Canyon in October of 1993. Everything from then has been
defined as after the Canyon and everything before
that moment, well, you get the point. flight booking Since then I ve been back as many times as I could
manage. I ve produced and directed a video about hiking the
Grand Canyon - but that first hike remains in my memory a magic
event. Thinking about it in retrospect I ve developed three
rules about hiking the Grand Canyon. Not rules about safety or
planning but ones about attitude and focus. travel agent I seem to remember a lot about that first hike but it s
more likely that the videotape I shot of the trail has
reinforced my memories. You don t really remember the
Canyon after your first hike. It s more just a jumble of
impressions. There s so much to see and feel, and it comes
at you so fast that you are completely overwhelmed. hotel chicago Our group was lucky to have a leader who had been to the
Canyon several times before. Due to his experience and
foresight we hiked during moderate weather and had bunkhouse
reservations at Phantom Ranch. So, our packs were light - just
lunch, a change of clothes, rain gear, and lots of water. online booking We planned on hiking from the North Rim to Phantom Ranch, a
distance of 14 miles on the trail and over a mile in elevation
change. In hindsight I know this was really at the edge of my
stamina despite the trail being all downhill. These days I
would plan an overnight stay at Cottonwood Campground, about
half way to Phantom Ranch.?/p>
(Diagram right: Orientation is north at bottom, south at
top. Our hike goes down Roaring Springs Canyon via the North
Kaibab Trail, then into Bright Angel Canyon whose creek flows
into the Colorado River just below Phantom Ranch, our
destination.) travel health insurance We should have been on the trail by dawn. But that morning
we had messed around on the rim, taking our time at breakfast
and packing, so we didn t get to the trailhead until 9 AM.
It seemed like we had plenty of time - eight hours to cover the
14 miles of the North Kaibab Trail - to make the 5 PM dinner at
Phantom Ranch. (There is only one seating for dinner!) In the
end we cut it very close.?/p>
This brings me to my first rule about hiking the Grand
Canyon:?Rule #1: Start early. Spend ALL day in the Canyon.
There is never enough time in the Canyon. The end of the trail
always comes too soon. In our culture we rush from place to
place. Journeys are rarely an event in and of themselves.
They re usually only a commute between places. This is fine
when the commute is just a commute. It is not true here. hotel reservation $209.99 for two GC Air/Ground $429.99 for

There are many options for taking day trips from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam and to the Grand Canyon, often combining a bus tour with a helicopter or plane ride. But to see both wonders up close would mean at least two days of bus trips (Hoover Dam is only 30 miles from Las Vegas, but the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is 278 miles away). April, the United States Bureau of Reclamation lifted some restrictions put in place after Sept. 11, and Las Vegas tour buses carrying passengers without luggage are once again allowed to cross the dam... |
