The mighty Colorado River runs from northwestern Mexico through California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. The river is a spectacular sight to see, meandering for 1,447 miles (2,330 km) with red rocks and
canyons framing it on both sides, leading up to the Hoover Dam. The Colorado River is one of the major water sources for California and Nevada, and not surprisingly it's a major recreational destination: activities on the river include hiking, biking, rafting and boating.
One of the ways that travelers most often come to see the Colorado River is by visiting the Black Canyon, so-called because of the black volcanic rocks found in the area. The canyons are majestic, red land formations that lead from Colorado towards the Hoover Dam in Nevada. Boating and canoeing down the Colorado River are popular activities in the Black Canyon.
There’s also the Jame’s M Robb Colorado River State Park, complete with trails, lakes, and facilities that help you tour the Colorado River. Swimming, fishing, boating, rafting, and hiking are crowd-pleasers at the Colorado River State Park. The park is divided in five sections along the Colorado River. The Fruita section is the crowning glory of the park, known for the red rock climbing, dinosaur sites, and exceptional hiking along mountain trails.

wir waren 8 leute und sind mit 2 hubschrauber geflogen, ich finde das diese tour sehr gut organsiert war!!!! die mitarbeiter beim sandace waren sehr freundlich, ich finde wenn mann in lasvegas ist sollte mann schon eine kleine aus zeit in der natur machen, der grand cayonen ist einfach nur wunderschön!!!!! allerdings wurde ich nicht diesen skywalk rund gang machen, mann hat ausserhalb von skywalk genau so eine schöne sicht und ist billiger!!!!! mir hat nur eins an den skywalk gestört das mann nicht selber fotographiern dürfte , und ein foto da oben hat 15 dollar gekosted!!!! das essen was inbegriffen war am skywalk war auch nicht so schlecht!!!!!
