Spend a full day from Las Vegas visiting Hoover Dam’s dramatic bridge and the West Rim of the Grand Canyon — expect air‑conditioned transport, guided exterior dam access, Joshua tree stands and rim viewpoints with lunch included.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air‑conditioned coach while the canyon yawns ahead — red rock walls folding into shadow and light, the Colorado River a thin ribbon far below. The day begins on the high concrete spine of Hoover Dam, where traffic hums and the new Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge frames a 900‑foot drop to the river; later you climb into Arizona high desert, cross a stand of 900‑year‑old Joshua trees and arrive at the West Rim of the Grand Canyon with time to soak in Eagle Point and Guano Point.

History
Hoover Dam, completed in 1936, was a landmark public‑works project that transformed water management and power in the Southwest; Grand Canyon West is on Hualapai land and includes cultural exhibits and crafts.
Conservation
Stay on designated paths and avoid trampling desert crust; the Hualapai and park managers work to balance tourism with protection of fragile canyon edges and cultural sites.
