点评:We headed to Grand Canyon West (a handy 2.5-hour drive from Las Vegas) midweek at the end of winter. Weather was perfect, not too hot and there were no crowds.
You can only drive as far as the gift shop/ bus terminal, and you are shuttled around to various points in the bus. The shuttle service is very handy, and you can hop on and off at your leisure.
Paid for the full access (USD $99), pricey, but was well worth it.
The Sky Walk was pretty cool, walking out over the canyon on a glass platform, but Guano point was the highlight. Amazing views of the canyon and Colorado River. Walking around the point is relatively easy and there are several vantage points.
We found the staff and drivers friendly, and the facilities were clean and well looked after. We also enjoyed a relaxing beer and drinks in the cafe at the Sky Walk.
The South rim is probably better for views/scenery (and cheaper) but obviously a further drive, so this was easy to access from Vegas.
翻译:冬末时节,我们在周中前往大峡谷西区(从拉斯维加斯驾车仅需2.5小时,非常方便)。天气极佳,既不炎热也没有太多游客。
车辆只能开到纪念品商店/巴士站处,之后则需乘坐巴士前往各个景点。这种巴士接驳服务十分便利,游客可以随意上下车。
我们购买了全程通行票(99美元),虽然价格不菲,但绝对物有所值。
“天空步道”真的相当酷。可以走在悬空的玻璃平台上俯瞰峡谷,不过古阿诺角才是最值得一看的景点。这里的峡谷与科罗拉多河景色令人叹为观止。沿着角边散步也相当轻松,还有多个绝佳的观景点。
我们觉得工作人员和司机都很友善,各种设施也干净整洁、维护得当。我们还在天空步道的咖啡馆里惬意地喝着啤酒、享用饮料。
南缘区域的景色或许更佳(而且费用更低),不过开车过去显然要远得多。所以从拉斯维加斯出发很容易到达。
