Grand Canyon West - Hualapai Ranch, Native American Village

Most people go to the South and North Rim when they visit Grand Canyon. But you can also visit West Rim which is a new addition to the wonderful Grand Canyon.

The West Rim is owned by the Hualapai Indian Tribe, pronounced as "Wall-Uh-Pie" West Rim comprises three main visit points:
1.Hualapai Ranch
2.Eagle Point and
3.Guano point
including Skywalk and Native American Village.

You can buy a package ticket to visit all three points (you may also include skywalk and lunch for a little extra money which is worth to have).






The Hualapai means "People of the Tall Pines" are native people lived in the SouthWest for many generations. They are traditionally hunter-gatherers people.









You can take a wagon ride to the ridge, walk into the village, watch lovely Native American dances, and shop at the Hualapai Market. You can also spend a night there and watch exquisite Sunrise in the canyon!








Here I had found  some valuable information before I went there:
