WHAT TO EXPECT:

Includes 3 road trips to explore from Las Vegas (+ Bonus Las Vegas Boulevard, The Strip & Old Vegas)

GRAND CANYON WEST RIM
The West Rim is the closest and most accessible area to view the Grand Canyon and the location of the optional glass SkyWalk. It’s a full day drive from Las Vegas through lots of desert, so we’ll fill the journey there with stories about the canyon, so you’ll know what to expect and be a little more knowledgeable about the geology, wildlife and people that make this a Natural World Wonder.

On the drive back to Las Vegas, you’ll hear stories about some of the unique characters from Las Vegas history, Area 51, Atomic City and more.

HOOVER DAM
The Hoover Dam is a short 1/2 day trip from Las Vegas and remains an impressive engineering achievement.

Be amazed at the height of the concrete walls, water levels of Lake Mead, the view looking down from the bypass bridge, or go behind the scenes and add on a tour inside the Power Plant. It’s all impressive.

RED ROCK CANYON
Red Rock Canyon is only 30 minutes from the Strip, but gives you a glimpse into the Mojave desert environment that borders Las Vegas. The 13 mile scenic loop drive has many viewpoints, seasonal waterfall oasis, and hiking opportunities.

Highly recommend going into the new Visitor Centre with indoor and outdoor exhibits. It’s also home to the tortoise habitat and their caretakers, the “Tort Wranglers”.

WHAT YOU’LL SEE:

• Red Rock Canyon & Tortoise Habitat
• Grand Canyon West Rim & Skywalk
• Hoover Dam
• Las Vegas Strip
• Fremont St (Old Vegas)
• Las Vegas Sign
• Lake Mead
• Boulder City
• Bonnie Springs
• Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
