Itinerary and highlights

As you depart Las Vegas, you'll journey through the Mojave Desert, a vast expanse of arid beauty. Expect to see rugged terrain, unique desert flora, and the occasional wildlife, all under the expansive desert sky.

At the Hoover Dam Bypass, you'll encounter the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. This impressive structure spans the Colorado River, providing panoramic views of the dam and the surrounding canyon.

Crossing the Colorado River, you'll witness one of North America's most iconic waterways. The river's deep blue waters contrast strikingly against the surrounding desert landscape, offering a serene and picturesque scene.

Upon arriving at Grand Canyon West, you'll enter the Hualapai Reservation. Here, you'll have approximately 3 hours to explore breathtaking viewpoints, cultural exhibits, and enjoy the natural wonders of the canyon.

At Eagle Point, you'll be captivated by the canyon's expansive vistas. This area also features Native American cultural displays, offering insights into the traditions and history of the Hualapai people.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk invites you to step onto a glass bridge extending over the canyon's edge. From this vantage point, you'll experience a thrilling view straight down to the canyon floor, 4,000 feet below.

At Guano Point, you'll find one of the most dramatic viewpoints of the Grand Canyon. Here, you can hike the Highpoint Trail, explore remnants of a historic tramway, and enjoy 360-degree views of the canyon.

The Western Hualapai Ranch offers a glimpse into the Old West. You can explore Native American dwellings, enjoy cowboy-style entertainment, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the Hualapai Tribe.
