A TRULY GRAND CANYON Nevada's Grand Canyon provides endless opportunity for fun and adventure with everything from amazing hikes and interpretive programs to river rafting and air tours. The key to a good visit is to be prepared. Arrive early, since the Grand Canyon is busy nearly the entire year and dress warmly--springtime at 7,000 feet can be pretty chilly. Try a bird's eye view of the canyon. Scenic Airlines offers Sunset subscribers a 20% discount off Grand Canyon air tours from Las Vegas, March 1 through June 30, 2004.
