"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Overview
Your day starts with a scenic drive through the hauntingly beautiful Southwest Desert. The journey takes you across the impressive Hoover Dam where you will enjoy a short photo stop to admire this amazing feat of modern engineering. From here, continue into the heart of Indian country and wind through a 900-year-old Joshua Tree Forest, which surrounds much of this high desert country. Soon you arrive at the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, the undoubted highlight of the trip. You have around three hours to explore this amazing site at your own pace. As you walk along the rim, marvel at the dramatic terraced cliffs and enjoy the magnificent views across the canyon including the Great Thunderbird that Mother Nature carved into the cliff of the Canyon. A buffet lunch on the Grand Canyon edge is included – the ultimate lunch with a view!
Grand Canyon Skywalk Why not upgrade your ticket to include the famous Grand Canon Skywalk? Situated at Eagle Point, this amazing glass walkway allows you to walk out over the Canyon rim and experience birds-eye views to the Colorado River 4000 feet below your feet.
Your pick-up time can be up to an hour before the scheduled tour departure depending on your hotel location. Following the tour, you may choose to exit the bus at any other hotel stop to explore other parts of Las Vegas and make your way back to your hotel at your leisure.
