Day trip to Grand Canyon West Rim & Hoover Dam From Las Vegas!

Published 2024-02-03
The Grand Canyon West Rim and Hover Dam is a fantastic day trip from Las Vegas! We rented a car and took a day long trip to see these magnificent wonders of the world! The Grand Canyon West Rim is not part of the Grand Canyon National Park system like the North and South Rims. It is part of the Hualapai Nation, and is probably best known for the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a platform that sticks out over the Grand Canyon with a see-through floor. You will need to pay a separate entrance fee (we have a link to the website below) to see the West Rim but it is spectacular and a MUST SEE!

The Grand Canyon West Rim consists of three main areas, Eagle Point, where the skywalk is, Guano Point ( the BEST Views!) and Hualapai Point. We didn't get the opportunity to visit Hualapai Point as the park was closing but we have a link below to the West Rim information to see if it's something you would like to visit. Grand Canyon West Rim features things you won't find at the National Park such as a biplane and helicopter rides to the bottom!

Hoover Dam is only a little over 30 mins from Las Vegas and is a site to see! Constructed 80+ years ago, it serves the US in the fields of irrigation, flood control, and power production. Here we explored
the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge that spans the Colorado River between the states of Arizona and Nevada and drove over the Dam to get a closer look!

    Did you do the skywalk and if so did you think it was worth it?

    Just purchased a bus tour from Vegas to conclude the last day of our vacation in May. The total for two tickets on Orbitz was 390 which will include the skywalk if anyone is curious.

    I really enjoyed the video .Great Post!.. Here are the questions I have before going,,because I can' t find the answers online anywhere. Once you leave Hoover Dam and head to the west rim.. Is there anyplace to stop and see the canyon without going all the way into the reservation. We have group from Canada coming--NONE of them want to do the Skywalk.. and we don't really have time to go though that whole thing with the shuttle buses. They would just like to look down and see the river. If you can't see the canyon without going into the Tribal lands--how much is it per person.. Thanks in advance.. and again ..thank you for sharing your experience.

    Beautiful video. I will be in Las Vegas in May and would love to visit the Grand Canyon. The only problem, I am afraid of heights. Are there locations that are not so elevated that I can still get nice views of the canyon?
