What To Expect

Las Vegas Blvd Trail

We will pick you up at the hotel where you are staying and we will start the tour towards the western part of the Grand Canyon, located 192 km from the city of Las Vegas. Your guide will tell you about the different points of interest that we will find on the trip.

Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

The first stop will be at the Lake Mead viewpoint, where we will appreciate the views of this artificial reservoir created by the collision of the Colorado River with the wall of the Hoover Dam. We will access the dam to appreciate two marvels of engineering, the Bridge that crosses the dam and the Hoover architecture, Art Deco style. The next stop will be for a breakfast coffee where you cannot miss the classic American donuts, is our advice.

Dolan Springs

We resume the march and already within the great desert extension we make a detour into the deepest and most rugged America something similar to the Breaking Bad series, it is the town of Dolan Spring, a classic of the Far West. We are only 80 km away from our final destination, when in an unexpected way we enter the forest of Joshua trees, a native species of the Mojave Desert.

Grand Canyon West

We have reached our destination The Grand Canyon West, this part of the canyon consists of two viewpoints El Mirador Del Aguila, where the Skywalk and El Mirador Del Guano are located, where we will make stops so you can enjoy one of the greatest wonders of the planet.

Las Vegas Blvd Trail

Once we finish lunch we start our way back to Las Vegas and back to the hotel.

What a day would highly recommend doing this if your in vegas. Our guide Jay was excellent helped us get all the best photo opportunities. If you can definitely do a small group there was only 4 in ours which meant we didn’t have to use the shuttle buses on the skywalk saved a couple of hours which gave us more time so see more.

Our family lost money on our trip to Vegas, but we hit the JACKPOT when we booked a tour through iTravel USA. We were fortunate enough to have Lankun, aka “Mama”, as our tour guide around the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree National Park, and Hoover Dam. Our day with her was the highlight of our trip! Ask for her. Seriously. Here’s why: she is knowledgable. Not just knowledgable, but a plethora of information and context. She knows the area, the small towns, the people and the “quirky details” that will stick out in your mind long after you return home. She has also amassed a cache of online resources that she will provide links to, so you can further your learning experience and really soak up the information later on. This was particularly helpful because A) it’s hard to remember everything that early in the morning and B) we traveled with kids and we could really extend the learning experience after our tour was complete. Lankun “Mama” has the tour process down to a science. She knows where to stop for the cleanest restrooms, best photo ops AND when to get there to minimize standing in long lines. Perhaps most significantly, Lankun is an exceptional photographer. She told us that she would take our pictures (if we liked, of course) with her camera (phone) and would air drop the photos to everyone near the end of our tour, so we wouldn’t have to worry about capturing the moment—we could just enjoy our experience. My husband and I were STUNNED at the quality of her pictures. She knows where the best places are for backdrops and she will guide you through a very simple photo shoot. She is efficient. The result was that EVERY family in our tour received professional pictures from each location we visited that day. Honestly, you could spend hundreds of dollars on a just a professional photographer like her—and she provides this service as part of the tour! I was so impressed, I asked my husband to tip her generously because now we have pictures for Christmas cards and to fill our frames around our house. So don’t worry, even if you lose money in Vegas, you will more than cover the loss by booking a tour with Lankun, aka “Mama” as your guide.
