How I visited both rims. Step 1. Flew into Phoenix (from Florida). Step 2. Drove to Kingman/AZ and spent the night (3 hour drive). Step 3. Drove to the West rim early in the morning. (1.5 hour drive). Enjoy full day experience. Step 4. Drove to Flagstaff/AZ (3.5 hour drive) and spent the night. Step 5. Drove to South rim early in the morning (1.5 hour drive) enjoy full day experience. Step 6. Enjoy Flagstaff/AZ & Sedona/AZ for a couple days before driving back to Phoenix (2.5 hour drive).
I’ve never been to the west rim. But I loved the North Rim as much as the South Rim. One reason.....less people compared to the South. The South has a much better view of the canyon but I was struck how green and alpine forest it was on the North. Plus it’s at a higher elevation. I can’t say one is better but the North is cool because it’s not far From Zion or Bryce Canyons.
The West Rim is definitely a much different experience from the South and North. And the North Rim certainly is striking in terms of greenery. The best part of the Grand Canyon is that there are so many different views and perspectives! If you enjoy the North Rim's scenery, you would love it from a helicopter 😉
visited west rim in late sept 2019… the awesome majesty of the canyon here is breath taking… the ambience unfortunately spoilt sadly by cheesy tourist bait, rip off prices and the worst food ( at the view point resturant ?) I have ever had this misfortune to pay for in the US… its a cash cow for the local tribe, best of luck to them ! Off to North rim again next year…..
do you recommend the west better than the south?, Can I ask you a question, if you go from las vegas in a rented car, where do you park to go to those places?, you have to take another van even if you go in car?, and least, if a helicopter is the option, how is the process?, isnt it just as long as going in car because you need to get to where the helicopter is and all that?
I flew with you in 2012 from Las Vegas. Not sure what rim it was. We landed and got a shuttle to what was like a western film set. A guy did amazing card tricks. We then went by shuttle to the Skywalk which was breathtaking. I also remember fly over Hoover Dam. We certainly had a fantastic time and can thoroughly recommend Maverick Helicopters.

It's one of the Seven Natural Wonders, yes. The others include Paricutin, Mount Everest, Harbor of Rio de Janeiro, Victoria Falls, and the Great Barrier Reef!
@@Maverickhelicopters Ive heard of the Taj Mahal in India, the Pyramids in Mexico, and Machu picho in Peru but never any of those? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 im very confused now,
The South Rim has a lot more activities, but the West Rim is nice as well. It is relatively close to Las Vegas, which makes for a nice day trip out of the city 😀
True story - The West Rim is not nearly as deep and nowhere in the ballpark as being as majestic. The West Rim to me is like a standard cool canyon. The South Rim is an utter WOW experience with the depth about 3k feet more and 25 miles wide. No comparison here. When they mention The Grand Canyon as one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, they're talking about The South and North Rims, not The West Rim.
you did a nice job of explaing this!!! I have been to the south rim via lv bus tour and am close to moving to kingman so west rim closer and Im fairly certain its closer to flagstaff too as its closer to kingman etc but since Ive seen south going for west sky bridge looks amazing tho Ive heard many limitations etc and I really dont like how its so wilderness no railings etc on the west but still looks amazing and only just over and hr from kingman than well worth checking out!!!
But is 6 hours from las vegas, is it?, we are a little short on time do you recommend the west better than the south?, Can I ask you a question, if you go from las vegas in a rented car, where do you park to go to those places?, you have to take another van even if you go in car?, and least, if a helicopter is the option, how is the process?, isnt it just as long as going in car because you need to get to where the helicopter is and all that?
The Skywalk is a unique experience as it gives you an unobstructed view of the iconic Eagle Rock formation and the canyon floor from 4,000 above. You can also witness great views of the West Rim from other locations such as Guano Point. As far as whether the trip to the South Rim is worth it is totally up to you! The South Rim landscape contains more green in comparison to the West Rim and provides a variety of activities such as hiking and walking trails, museums, mule rides, and of course, helicopter tours over remote areas such as the North Rim.
I am thinking of making a trip closer to Christmas - I hear that West Rim route is usually free of snow chain needs compared to South Rim. Hence leaning on West rim. Is that a right assumption?
@@samyvik2888 That will be a nice trip! and your assumption is correct. There are cases where it snows at the West Rim, but the south rim has a much higher chance of snow, especially in the wintertime. The snow at the West Rim, when it does snow, is a lot less and sometimes doesn't get snowfall. Weather is unpredictable, however, so we would say to check the weather prior to your trip.
When I first heard North rim and South rim.i thought you guys meant north of grand canyon end and south canyon was way down the bottom end of grand canyon hundreds of miles away.
We apologize for the confusion, June. This article written by Grand Canyon National Park Trips has a great map that you can refer to: www.mygrandcanyonpark.com/park/places/park-access-overview/. We hope this helps! 😀
I'm definetly not an expert (considering I'm from Australia for starters) Ive been to the South rim once and the west rim once. The south rim is amazing, it is also very crowded, too many humans for my liking, defeats the purpose of going almost. The commercialisation of the place is mind blowing. But there are many lookouts to choose from and if you do a bit of walking you can sometimes find a quiet place to sit on a rock and really let the view soak in. The west rim was very disappointing, I drove from Needles and by the time I got there it was mid-late afternoon and very quickly realised you cannot see a single part of the canyon unless you pay the $65 (?) for the shuttle bus to even see the canyon. very clever marketing, I thought the people of the areas number one priority was protecting their land, but maybe its number 2 or 3? I always wondered why the skywalk was built at the west rim, miles and miles away from the south rim, now I guess l know why. I realise the skywalk would have been incredibly expensive to build, and totally understand charging for that experience though.
Im glad I read your comment because we've been debating on which part to drive to this weekend (from our home in Vegas). Now to choose between north and south rim.
@@samyvik2888 To be honest, I dont know? I wasnt paying the $$$$ that late in the day to get on a shuttle bus full of humans (it was the start of covid too) to only have a quick look, I like to take my time with stuff like that. I would maybe go again if I could spend most of the day to actually see the canyon and skywalk. But I was pretty umm "browned-off" at the whole tourist -trap thing, I ended up taking the drive to "South Cove?" I think which was pretty good, boring in comparison to what I had planned on seeing, obviously. They are definetly 2 different areas as people say, West is just that, as in the wild west. Dry, desolate, rocky, still very scenic (from what I did see) and south is a much higher altitude with forests, grass, deer etc. My mate who was with me was very disappointed to see a big camping grounds where he camped last time near the rim is now a bigger visitor centre and car park, but thats what we are doing to this planet I guess? From all reports if you dont want the crowds go to the north rim, but that is a long way there and back

It depends on what you're looking for in your experience. Both locations have an entry fee, as well as various additional activity offerings, from the Skywalk, to cabin stays, and of course helicopter flights. If you're talking about our helicopter flights, it would depend on which location you're coming out of. We do offer flights from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, and we fly out of both Rims as well.

I didnt realize It had been ruined by commercialization.. Heartbreaking to see how Mankind had to develop it into a cheesy tourist trap. Mule rides ,train rides, parking lots, RVparks, buildings gift shops.... Is it all quarantined off from public access so your Forced to go where they dictate?? I wanted to see it in its Natural state..
James Douglas Yes I was just there today and I was wishing that it was kept a little more sacred. They should make it a “No talking Zone” it was hard to sit and focus on the view with all the people in the background 😫
Hi James, the parts we mentioned in the video are just some of the most easily accessible areas of the Grand Canyon for those who are looking for a more guided and informational experience-these areas make up a very small part of the canyon overall. They're also ideal for those who may not have as much time in their visit. You may be glad to hear there are actually more remote and natural parts of the canyon than not! 🙂For those looking for that kind of experience, there are many great trails to hike. And of course, to see as much of its natural state as possible, a helicopter does a great job at showing parts virtually inaccessible by ground 😉
Great info but I want to see more of the canyon your talking about, rather than the speaker. You're pretty but I'm trying to decide what to expect to see at the Grand canyon. Seeing that for more than 2 seconds per picture is needed.
Hi Katie! Thank you for your feedback, we will definitely take note of it for future videos. In the meanwhile, if you'd like to see more footage of the rims, check out this more in-depth video playlist we have on the canyon: th-cam.com/play/PLjFkhRP0MpoMNJJ72D4yO7W1F0ZiMOedN.html We also have a little South Rim (GC National Park) video here: th-cam.com/video/tGhzV9NxKuc/w-d-xo.html
Katie C was thinking the same interesting video but I find it centered around her more than the actual topic. It clear with the make up, the hair, her exaturated Facial expressions. I’m planning to go next week and I’m still confused. Just a tip lower the music and don’t put those annoying sounds for every time anything written comes up. Way too animated. Concentrated more on the actual topic, speak slower, leave the pictures for longer than 5 sec. and show less of yourself( nothing bad)
please do not after you explain west or south rim do not go back and compare the south , west etc its confusing and also you are talking too fast...! I'm still confused after watching the video...!
Thinking about camping there. Probably the south rim if I can get in as I'd be coming from the east coast. I don't want to rush, so if I was planning a trip with enough time to get a good experience at the south rim, how long should I plan for? The helicopter and donkey tours look cool, but the zip lining in the west rim also looks cool. If I zipped (pun intended) over to the west rim, how long should I plan on staying to get the flavor, sky walk, and zip line? Thanks. Hoping about a week between the two will do it. If I have to give up something it'll be the donkey tour. Also, any good drives to take while there? I'll probably drag the Harley with me just for that.
This one all depends on you! If you are looking more for outdoor activities, we suggest South Rim. West Rim is nice if you are planning a Las Vegas Vacation since the west rim is a 45 helicopter flight away!
I initially planned on visiting the South Rim though a tour company. A couple days prior, I was told that it was postponed because of not meeting the minimum group capacity. As a token, the company granted me a complimentary upgrade to the West rim.

Both locations are amazing. If time is a concern, the west rim can be done within a day. There is more to do in the south rim, so it can take you a day or two if you want to see everything 😃
Been to the north and south rims. Also hiked to the bottom. I encountered a lady that said Grand Canyon was a figment of Kodak’s imagination, my reply was for a figment it was a long walk to the bottom. I encouraged her to go there because she had never been there. Dale
Do you know that the Grand Canyon was caused by the worldwide flood in Noah's day when God caused it to rain for forty days and forty nights? Genesis 6:17,18
@@juneallan4903 Thanks for sharing. The researchers all say that it was created through erosion. After the top layers of rock (green) eroded away, the Colorado River grew powerful and began to cut its way through the ancient rock, leaving the stunning canyon we see today.Feb 26, 2019
There is NO GOD caused this, you been brainwashed wash by the priest. Most of the priest’s live in Villa home drive expensive cars lot’s of money hidden in bank account, all because the name of God they say. Lol.
We will be visiting Las Vegas in May 2022. We are planning a Grand Canyon tour with our adult daughter who is a full time wheelchair user. Which rim is more wheelchair accessible?
Both rims will have wheelchair accessibility, but both will also have some restrictions too. We suggest reaching out to each park to see what is best for your situation!

Hi Terry! There is a step that helps you get into the helicopter. If you would need additional assistance, just let our staff know and we would be happy to help! We'd love to have you. 🚁
West rim is commercial junk and developed for quick trip of vegas guys . A person has a to pay 100$ to visit and also has lot of restrictions is something which I don’t like !! South rim is the best and what Grand Canyon is !!! Basically you see the opposite . From south Rim trials you see north rim... On any given Day I will always go to South rim and second choice is North rim .!!!
We're going to visit in October next from Vegas by bus. Your comment helped me decide to which rim should we visit. Can you recommend any tour operator?

Glad to hear! 😀
How I visited both rims.
Step 1. Flew into Phoenix (from Florida).
Step 2. Drove to Kingman/AZ and spent the night (3 hour drive).
Step 3. Drove to the West rim early in the morning. (1.5 hour drive). Enjoy full day experience.
Step 4. Drove to Flagstaff/AZ (3.5 hour drive) and spent the night.
Step 5. Drove to South rim early in the morning (1.5 hour drive) enjoy full day experience.
Step 6. Enjoy Flagstaff/AZ & Sedona/AZ for a couple days before driving back to Phoenix (2.5 hour drive).
Now this is a life hack. If you stop by Vegas you can also fly to the West Rim from our Vegas terminal! 👍
Which would you say was the best part? We can only choose one.

They are both different experiences, but we suggest both if possible!

Is it safe to travel alone
Good Question. The Grand Canyon is generally a safe vacation spot to travel, but we suggest always having someone to go with. 😀
I've been to all three. The south rim is by far the best, north second, west is last and least.
was the SkyWalk worth it?? And is the view on South Rim worth the extra 6hr round trip from LV over and above the West rim trip?
The Skywalk is a unique experience as it gives you an unobstructed view of the iconic Eagle Rock formation and the canyon floor from 4,000 above. You can also witness great views of the West Rim from other locations such as Guano Point.

They're also ideal for those who may not have as much time in their visit.
You may be glad to hear there are actually more remote and natural parts of the canyon than not! 🙂For those looking for that kind of experience, there are many great trails to hike. And of course, to see as much of its natural state as possible, a helicopter does a great job at showing parts virtually inaccessible by ground 😉
Its not ruined by commercialization.
North Rim ?
@@joannpolidori7379yes, it is.
Great info but I want to see more of the canyon your talking about, rather than the speaker. You're pretty but I'm trying to decide what to expect to see at the Grand canyon. Seeing that for more than 2 seconds per picture is needed.
Katie C Hello, I am coming back from the Grand Canyon now and will be doing a review with video and pictures soon!
Hi Katie! Thank you for your feedback, we will definitely take note of it for future videos. In the meanwhile, if you'd like to see more footage of the rims, check out this more in-depth video playlist we have on the canyon: th-cam.com/play/PLjFkhRP0MpoMNJJ72D4yO7W1F0ZiMOedN.html
We also have a little South Rim (GC National Park) video here: th-cam.com/video/tGhzV9NxKuc/w-d-xo.html
Katie C was thinking the same interesting video but I find it centered around her more than the actual topic. It clear with the make up, the hair, her exaturated Facial expressions. I’m planning to go next week and I’m still confused. Just a tip lower the music and don’t put those annoying sounds for every time anything written comes up. Way too animated. Concentrated more on the actual topic, speak slower, leave the pictures for longer than 5 sec. and show less of yourself( nothing bad)
please do not after you explain west or south rim do not go back and compare the south , west etc its confusing and also you are talking too fast...! I'm still confused after watching the video...!
we have other videos on the West Rim and South Rim specifically, if you need a deeper explanation of each location. 💖
Too much looking at this girl's face and not much of the scenic views of the canyon.
Well we hope you got some good information out of the video 🤣
So you can’t land on the ground if you fly south rim? 🥲🥲
South rim has a much deeper elevation, making it harder to land in. We do have the ability to land in the West Rim however!
Thinking about camping there. Probably the south rim if I can get in as I'd be coming from the east coast. I don't want to rush, so if I was planning a trip with enough time to get a good experience at the south rim, how long should I plan for? The helicopter and donkey tours look cool, but the zip lining in the west rim also looks cool. If I zipped (pun intended) over to the west rim, how long should I plan on staying to get the flavor, sky walk, and zip line? Thanks. Hoping about a week between the two will do it. If I have to give up something it'll be the donkey tour. Also, any good drives to take while there? I'll probably drag the Harley with me just for that.
This one all depends on you! If you are looking more for outdoor activities, we suggest South Rim. West Rim is nice if you are planning a Las Vegas Vacation since the west rim is a 45 helicopter flight away!
I initially planned on visiting the South Rim though a tour company. A couple days prior, I was told that it was postponed because of not meeting the minimum group capacity. As a token, the company granted me a complimentary upgrade to the West rim.
Thanks for the info! Hopefully you get to see both rims. 😊
do you recommend the west better than the south?, Can I ask you a question, if you go from las vegas in a rented car, where do you park to go to those places?, you have to take another van even if you go in car?, and least, if a helicopter is the option, how is the process?, isnt it just as long as going in car because you need to get to where the helicopter is and all that?
@@lal2235 it's a shame nobody answered you.
Very informative and straight to the point.
Thank you for your feedback, glad we could help!
Thanks for the video. Still complicated to decide where to go.
Strongly I believe is not a 1 day location.
Both locations are amazing. If time is a concern, the west rim can be done within a day. There is more to do in the south rim, so it can take you a day or two if you want to see everything 😃
Omg this girl is beautiful
Been to the north and south rims. Also hiked to the bottom.
I encountered a lady that said Grand Canyon was a figment of Kodak’s imagination, my reply was for a figment it was a long walk to the bottom. I encouraged her to go there because she had never been there.

That's awesome! We bet the hike was stunning. ☺
So what’s in the middle of the west rim and south rim?
Amelia southwest rim
A lot more of the grand Canyon, but a lot of it is uninhabited and really hard to get to.
Do you know that the Grand Canyon was caused by the worldwide flood in Noah's day when God caused it to rain for forty days and forty nights? Genesis 6:17,18
Grand canyon was mined out many many thousand years ago.
@@juneallan4903 Thanks for sharing. The researchers all say that it was created through erosion. After the top layers of rock (green) eroded away, the Colorado River grew powerful and began to cut its way through the ancient rock, leaving the stunning canyon we see today.Feb 26, 2019
@@juneallan4903 Interesting. Have you heard about the marine fossil in the rock layers?
There is NO GOD caused this, you been brainwashed wash by the priest. Most of the priest’s live in Villa home drive expensive cars lot’s of money hidden in bank account, all because the name of God they say. Lol.
Did you see it? How you're so sure about this?
We will be visiting Las Vegas in May 2022. We are planning a Grand Canyon tour with our adult daughter who is a full time wheelchair user. Which rim is more wheelchair accessible?
Both rims will have wheelchair accessibility, but both will also have some restrictions too. We suggest reaching out to each park to see what is best for your situation!

Hi , I am very unsteady on my feet and find it difficult getting into vehicles , is there a step to get into the helicopter
Hi Terry! There is a step that helps you get into the helicopter. If you would need additional assistance, just let our staff know and we would be happy to help! We'd love to have you. 🚁
🤣that was one of my concerns too let alone getting into my suv!
West rim is commercial junk and developed for quick trip of vegas guys . A person has a to pay 100$ to visit and also has lot of restrictions is something which I don’t like !!
South rim is the best and what Grand Canyon is !!!
Basically you see the opposite . From south Rim trials you see north rim...
On any given
Day I will always go to
South rim and second choice is
North rim .!!!
We fly over the North Rim as well on our South Rim flights, come see us if you're ever out here. 😎
Cheap ass
We're going to visit in October next from Vegas by bus. Your comment helped me decide to which rim should we visit. Can you recommend any tour operator?
Beautiful eyes and beautiful lips, too.
You are so kind 🤣
