This Gran Canyon North tour is a truly unique getaway that skips the crowded tourist spots at other Grand Canyon destinations. Arrive at our state-of-the-art air terminal in nearby Boulder City, NV and check in for your big adventure. You'll then board your aircraft and set off for a scenic flight that soars over the Mojave Desert, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River before reaching Bar 10 Ranch near the heart of the Grand Canyon.

Upon landing at Bar 10 Ranch, a beautiful, rustic, and peaceful oasis in the remote Northern Rim portion of the Grand Canyon, you'll embark on an all-terrain tour through Whitmore Canyon aboard a Polaris Ranger led by a professional guide. This rugged area features unique vantage points, breathtaking sheer drop-offs of more than a half mile, and abundant wildlife. Guests also travel into Lake Mead Recreation Area and to the rim of the Grand Canyon itself!

After a memorable day of exploring the remote backroads, a homemade barbecue lunch awaits guests back at Bar 10 Ranch after the tour. After a day of outdoor adventure, you'll return via airplane to the Las Vegas area.
