Grand Canyon West Rim & Hoover Dam Combo Tour

What your day looks like

This amazing day includes a wonderful tour of Hoover Dam followed by 3 full hours at the Grand Canyon West Rim on the Hualapai Indian Reservation! Hoover Dam is located in Black Canyon on the Colorado River, it is the highest structure of its kind in the world. It’s an outstanding achievement, noteworthy not only for its enormous dimensions, complex design, and intricate construction, but also for its illustration of man's outstanding ability to overcome the desert's summer sun, the vagaries of a treacherous river, and the extreme hazards of the great heights of the canyon’s sheer walls. This tour includes a wonderful extended exterior tour of the Dam as well as the new Hoover Dam Bridge that stands 900' above the Colorado River, with ample time for breathtaking views from the Top of the Dam, Lake Mead, the world's largest man-made reservoir, the eastern edge of the chasm in Arizona where you have fabulous views of the dam. In addition, we walk across the top of the Dam into Arizona where there are wonderful photo ops of the new Hoover Dam Bridge. As a bonus, we stop at a local park where herds of Big Horn Sheep often come down from the surrounding mountains to gather and graze on the sweet grass. We then cross the beautiful High Desert of Arizona and visit the incredible 900-year-old Joshua Tree Forest, Eagle Point & Guano Point (with 3 hours to explore the most beautiful natural locations at the rim of the Grand Canyon). You’ll have a romantic picnic lunch at the rim, stroll the wooden boardwalk of the Hualapai Ranch and see Native American Dancing and Dwellings. This is the “family outing” of a lifetime!
