The Grand Canyon is one of America’s most iconic and revered spaces, being protected as a National Park and Landmark by the Antiquities Act that was signed into law by Teddy Roosevelt. People from all over the world plan trips to Arizona every year in order to not only see this amazing place, but also to “participate” in it through hiking , rafting, helicopter tours, photography, camping and a myriad of other activities that the area offers to visitors. One of the problems that many visitors complain about is the inability to effectively organize their visits to include some of these activities, and the other is the sheer, remote nature of the park itself. Luckily, Bindlestiff Tours is here to provide solutions to both of these issues.
Touring the Grand Canyon is fantastic, but we like to add to the trip by actually using the amount of time it takes to drive to the area to our advantage. What do we mean by that? Simple, we offer our tours of the Grand Canyon as a part of larger tours where we also visit other areas and national parks. While the Grand Canyon itself is certainly amazing, there are also other national parks in these remote areas which are equally incredible. Most people who are interested in experiencing the Grand Canyon would also love to see Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon, just to name a few. These parks are equally amazing yet completely unique in their own way, so what we do is structure our tours to drive to the nearest park to Las Vegas and then hop from park to park making a “loop.” This minimizes the amount of time driving to and from our starting and ending point in Las Vegas, and maximizes the amount of time spent exploring these national treasures.
The way we do it is simple, we pick you up at your hotel room or at a meeting place in Las Vegas and provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable ride to Zion Canyon as our first stop. Zion is about half the distance from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, so we drive here first in order to enjoy this special place and all it has to offer. We then travel from park to park, camping in between, in order to minimize our travel time because the parks are closer to each other than they are to Las Vegas. By doing a three or five day tour instead of just driving more than four hours to the Grand canyon alone, then spending only a few hours there before driving back, we get to really enjoy the trip. The whole time, our expert guides keep you informed and entertained with dialog about the areas. We do not believe in putting on a DVD about the tour while we drive the bus, and instead we want our drivers and guides to allow you to ask questions and interact. After all, these are “adventure tours” and not just watching the scenery go by out of the windows of the bus.
