After exiting the interstate and passing through the small community of Dolan Springs, we then experience the look and feel of the landscape as it was thousands of years ago as a 900-year-old forest of Joshua Trees surrounds us. We are now on Hualapai Indian Tribal Lands. Known in their language as “the people of the tall pines,” the Hualapai Indians are one of several Native American tribes residing in Arizona. In 1988, they began to develop their own tourism enterprise on the rim of the Grand Canyon called “Grand Canyon West.” Upon entering the complex, we’ll change buses and embark on our tour of the Hualapai Indian Tribal Park. Our first stop is Eagle Point, where we’ll learn more about the Native peoples of the Southwest by touring replicas of their traditional dwellings. At the nearby amphitheatre, we’ll experience another aspect of Native American traditions with a dance or other type of cultural performance. Eagle Point is also the site of Arizona’s newest and perhaps most controversial attraction: the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a cantilevered glass-bottomed bridge positioned high in the air above the bottom of the Grand Canyon. We’ll have a chance to photograph views of this innovative structure. From there, we’ll be taken to Guano Point, named for a defunct mining operation. Here we’ll sit down to an outdoor barbecue lunch where everyone gets a table with a view! After lunch, take time to walk around the promontory to see some of the remnants of the old mine and cable car, and some spectacular views of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. After lunch, it’s time to get back on our motorcoach and head back to Las Vegas. > Few minds wear out; more rust out. > An idea's worth is directly proportional to the opposition created. > Great minds discuss ideas.
