Visitor - I would like a tour in Grand Canyon. Visitor - Something I could experience the habits of the Hualalapi tribe. Sandy - At the South Rim or from Las Vegas? Sandy - Ok, The Hualapai Tribe could be visited from Las Vegas. Sandy - Do you want an airtour or would you rather ride the bus? Visitor - Ride the bus. Sandy - Here is a link for that tour: https://grandcanyon. com/tours/west-canyon-tours/las-vegas-west-rim-motorcoach-tour/ Visitor - If possible, maybe by foot if there is a tour that suits that... Sandy - When you say by foot, do you mean that you would like to do some hiking while you are there? Visitor - I'm a very nature person, so if i could do activities like hiking... yes mam... that is what I meant. Sandy - Then you should probably rent a car and drive to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Sandy - You will find many opportunities for hiking there. Sandy - You could also use a shuttle service to get you to the South Rim if you are flying into Las Vegas or into Phoenix Visitor - Which would you suggest... flying into Phoenix or to Las Vegas? Sandy - I would say whichever you can get the lowest prices for... usually Las Vegas. Sandy - It is close to the same distance from the South Rim at either location... with Phoenix being 1/2 or so closer by car. Visitor - Okay Visitor - I can't rent a car... I'm not from the United States. Visitor - I will be there on July. Sandy - OK the shuttle service from Phoenix is provided by Groom Transportation. I will get a link for you: https://groometransportation. com/arizona/ Visitor - Do you know any tour which you sleep or camp with or without the Hualapai tribe? Sandy - You can camp on your own at the South Rim but you will need a Back Country Permit if you go into the Canyon. Sandy - The Hualapai Tribe have rustic cabins on their lands that you could stay in overnight, but I think the only way to do that is to drive there yourself or get a taxi (which would be very expensive. ) Sandy - This link will give you information about the Back Country Permit for the South Rim: https://grandcanyon. com/planning/backcountry-permit/ Visitor loaded: https://grandcanyon. com/planning/grand-canyon-mule-rides/ Grand Canyon Mule's rides.
