Grand Canyon West Rim by Van via Hoover Dam

The Grand Canyon West Rim on the Hualapai Indian Reservation is the closest part of these Grand Canyon Tours from Las Vegas. Look at the photos and panoramas on this page. It is the Grand Canyon in all its glory!

How does this differ from the South Rim in the National Park? Here you are closer to the Colorado River. You stand on the rim at 5,000 feet in elevation and peer directly down on the river almost 4,000 feet below you. Across the canyon you look up at distant mesa layers a thousand feet higher. It is a special place!

There are few people at this remote part of the canyon. This is because it is accessible only by a 14 mile dirt road, or by air, and there are no hotels or campgrounds. That is why we like to go there.

Grand Canyon Tours Schedule

1. We pick you up at your hotel in a van and head straight for the canyon. Departure time is 7 am. You will travel across the famous Hoover Dam and stop for photos of the dam and Lake Mead.

2. Explore the West Rim and enjoy a picnic lunch with panoramic canyon views.

3. On the way back we take a short stop at a western cowboy ranch.

4. Our route from these Grand Canyon Tours back to Las Vegas is through a wonderful ancient Joshua tree forest in Arizona. Joshua trees have no growth rings for counting their age. However, the size of these trees implies that this is an old-growth forest.

This is the same tour, ground portion, as the Grand Canyon Triple Experience tours from Las Vegas. The Triple Experience tour adds an exciting helicopter flight into the canyon and a Colorado River boat ride while at the West Rim. Those not taking the Triple Experience portion of this tour have a longer time at the rim. Your party can enjoy either tour and travel together.

Depart at 7 am, return approximately 5-5:30 pm.
