Dear 

Families on holiday in Grand Canyon West - home to the famous Skywalk glass bridge, an area owned by the Hualapai Tribe - can book overnight to stay at one of 26 canyon rim facing cabins and experience the magnificence of the sunset and dawn. Stay costs from US$129.00 (plus taxes, single/double occupancy). Included in the overnight package (www.hualapaitourism.com/overnight) is dinner with entertainment in the dining hall followed by fun making ‘S'mores' round a campfire with local cowboys while they tell tall stories. (S'mores - short for ‘Some More'! - are a popular fire roasted dessert made with sweet crackers, chocolate and marshmallows). Guests can be woken at dawn, to enjoy the sunrise over the Canyon - an once-in-a-lifetime experience. They are invited to enjoy wagon rides and learn how to ‘rope and quick draw just like in the westerns'. Gentle horse rides on the rim are available for nature lovers for 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
