Grand Canyon Camping Tours

If you were coming to Las Vegas on vacation and can afford to spend 2 days away from the casinos, one of the best things that you can do is to book a Grand Canyon camping tour. The Grand Canyon itself is located roughly 4 1/2 hours drive from Las Vegas, and if you have come this far from your home in order to visit Las Vegas there is no reason for you not to take a little bit of extra time in order to go to one of the other most desired locations to visit on earth. Las Vegas is considered by most to be the best choice as far as a starting point for a tour of the Grand Canyon due to the fact that it is the closest city that has a major airport that can support commercial airline traffic. Well Salt Lake City is also roughly the same distance away, you’re going to find that the flights coming in and out of Las Vegas are going to be more prevalent in also going to be better prices due to the fact that there is far more traffic from almost everywhere on earth going into Las Vegas than to Salt Lake City. Because Las Vegas is a tourist city of its own, you will also find more appropriate restaurant and lodging choices for almost any budget in Las Vegas than you will find in Salt Lake City. The proximity of Las Vegas to not only The Grand Canyon but other national parks also makes it a very attractive starting point, as you have the ability to visit multiple national parks in the same trip if you plan appropriately. One of the little known facts is that Zion National Park is only 2 1/2 hours from Las Vegas and Bryce is only 2 1/2 hours from Zion. This means that within about a three day timeframe you can easily visit all of these places In addition to the Grand Canyon, ultimately creating a perfect tour for those that enjoy outdoor spaces and want to see the vast differences between these types of parks. It is important that you understand that in order to enjoy the Grand Canyon as well as almost any other National Park, you have to plan for camping in between. It is almost impossible to drive all the way from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and spend any quality time outdoors and then drive all the way back to the city in the same day. This would be a nightmare to attempt to drive back when you are tired after spending all day hiking, and it is actually a mistake that is quite often made by inexperienced tourists. Those in the know will often tell you to book either a two day or 3 day tour from one of the operators that provides tours that leave Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and other national parks, getting picked up at your hotel room in the morning and ultimately being able to spend both the rest of that day and also the next morning exploring the park. If you are going to go that far, there is no reason for you to rush back and potentially miss the best parts.
