West Rim Grand Canyon

While the views are absolutely breathtaking, the Hualapai Nation charges quite a bit for entrance.  On their website they show a “legacy package” that must be purchased for entry at a price of $29.95 plus a permit fee.  However the permit fee is not shown.

When we got there the cheapest package wsa the Legacy Silver at a cost of $55.83 per person!  You did not have the option to opt out of the $14.95 meal that was included!   Needless to say – once you turn off of the main highway it is 49 miles (very secluded) to the gate – and when you get there who wants to turn around without seeing the canyon?  We loved the views but would have liked more disclosure up front!   I feel sorry for families that travel there without knowing and then get roped into paying such high prices!
