Las Vegas to Grand Canyon Bus Tour


We had this bus tour when we were staying at Venetian during our Christmas week.

This was a guided bus tour. They picked up us from Venetian and this full day long trip took us to the 
Hoover dam. It was just a small layover for about 30 mins at the Hoover dam and it's intriguing history was shared with us.




The next stop was at Mather point and Bright Angel resort for stunning views of the canyon.

There was one piss stop and lunch stop where lunch was provided to us by the tour.





I personally really enjoyed the tour. The weather luckily was nice enough for a bright sunshine, however, when we reached the canyon, it was around 1 degrees. Hailing from Alberta, Canada, I was okay with the weather, but some people were really cold and that's when I learnt that my iPhone 5 ditched on me as it couldn't sustain 1 degrees... I couldn't get hold of beautiful pictures, but whatever I got - it's here..

It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park may be small but it’s packed with things to do such has hiking, SUPing, windsurfing and boating on one of several lakes. It’s a prime location for spotting wildlife and wildflowers. After a busy day of outdoor adventures, the tiny village of Watert...
