More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll out of Las Vegas before the heat builds and the highway opens into sun-baked desert. The first stop is the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, where the road gives way to a sweeping viewpoint 900 feet above the Colorado River; concrete and canyon stare each other down and cameras click. After the Hoover Dam photo stop the route bends west and south toward the Hualapai lands that hold Grand Canyon West.

History
Hoover Dam (completed in 1936) reshaped water management in the Southwest; the West Rim sits on Hualapai tribal land with its own management and access rules.
Conservation
Visitors should stay on designated paths, respect tribal rules and fees, and pack out waste—water scarcity and fragile desert soils make Leave No Trace practices critical.
