Skywalk Zachodni Obrzeże Wielkiego Kanionu

Grand Canyon West Rim znajduje się na terenie należącym do Narodu Hualapai. Grand Canyon West oferuje mieszankę niesamowitych widoków Wielkiego Kanionu i tradycyjnych doświadczeń kulturowych w jednym miejscu, stosunkowo blisko Las Vegas. Opłata Legacy za zwiedzanie okolicy obejmuje transfer do 3 charakterystycznych obszarów: Eagle Point, Guano Point i Ranczo. Szklany SkyWalk jest prawdopodobnie najbardziej kultową i znaną cechą zwiedzania tej części Wielkiego Kanionu. Chodnik w kształcie litery U ze szklaną podłogą rozciąga się poza krawędź, dzięki czemu możesz patrzeć przez stopy na dno kanionu tysiące stóp poniżej.

Zapora Hoovera

Być może największe osiągnięcie amerykańskiej inżynierii iz pewnością ikona do dziś, Zapora Hoovera musi być widziana z bliska, aby ją docenić. Wybierz się na półdniową przejażdżkę do Zapory Hoovera lub zatrzymaj się na niej w drodze do Wielkiego Kanionu West Rim. Przy zaporze zaparkuj i wejdź na ścianę, aby docenić rozmiar i wielkość projektu. Będziesz chciał robić zdjęcia z różnych punktów widokowych wokół tamy, aby uchwycić wiele fascynujących szczegółów.

4

Obwodnica Zapory Hoovera

Współczesne wyczyny inżynieryjne, które dorównują budowie Zapory Hoovera - prawie! Urzędnicy uznali trasę US 93 przez Zaporę Hoovera za niebezpieczne i zatłoczone wąskie gardło zarówno przy istniejącym, jak i przewidywanym natężeniu ruchu. Budowa rozpoczęła się w 2003 roku i została zakończona 7 lat później w 2010 roku. Ten łukowy most znajduje się 890 stóp (270 m) nad rzeką Kolorado, drugą co do wysokości w Stanach Zjednoczonych.

5

Punkt Guano

Ten przystanek w Grand Canyon West oferuje jedne z najlepszych widoków na kanion, nawet z ogólnego obszaru widokowego. Pozostałości dawnej działalności górniczej w jaskiniach w zboczu ścian kanionu czynią to miejsce jeszcze ciekawszym niż „zwykłe” widoki na kanion! Jeśli masz energię, możesz przejść stosunkowo łatwą wspinaczkę na szczyt skalnego kopca, aby uzyskać jeszcze wyższy widok na kanion i jego krawędź.

6

Punkt Orła

Ta naturalna formacja skalna znajduje się na terenach rezerwatu Hualapai i można się nią delektować w ramach zwiedzania Wielkiego Kanionu na Zachodnim Krańcu. Zarys orła rozkładającego skrzydła jest oczywisty, a dowiesz się więcej o legendach i tych świętych skałach. Położenie na skraju krawędzi Wielkiego Kanionu jest spektakularne.

7

Narodowy obszar chroniony kanionu Red Rock

13-kilometrowa pętla prowadzi przez słynne czerwone skały kanionu, ale ma też wiele wzniesionych punktów widokowych, inne zaskakujące formacje skalne i starożytne petroglify. Wędrowcy mają okazję zwiedzić kilka kanionów lub wybrać się na zabawne szlaki do skakania po skałach. Centrum dla zwiedzających Red Rock Canyon oferuje pokazy interpretacyjne w pomieszczeniach, plac na świeżym powietrzu wypełniony interaktywnymi eksponatami, spektakularne widoki na otaczającą czerwoną skałę i schludny sklep z pamiątkami.

8

Park stanowy Spring Mountain Ranch

Spring Mountain Ranch to park stanowy i zachowane miejsce historyczne z jednymi z najstarszych budynków w Nevadzie. W swojej historii miał kilku sławnych właścicieli - gdyby tylko ściany mogły mówić! Ranczo jest pięknie zachowane i oferuje żywą historię i programy kulturalne.

9

Fabryka czekoladek Ethel M i ogród kaktusów

Kto nie kocha czekolady? Forrest Mars Sr. (tak, z cukierkowego imperium Mars) założył Ethel M Chocolates jako projekt emerytalny w 1980 roku. To małe przedsięwzięcie, nazwane na cześć jego matki, osiągnęło sprzedaż w wysokości 150 milionów dolarów w ciągu kilku lat.

10

Narodowy teren rekreacyjny jeziora Mead

Wzdłuż drogi dojazdowej do Zapory Hoovera znajduje się wspaniały punkt widokowy, z którego możemy podziwiać rozległe widoki na jezioro Mead, które oczywiście powstało w wyniku zasypania tamy.

11

Miasto Boulderów

Opracowany jako baza dla 5000 pracowników budujących Zaporę Hoovera. Zbudowana w surowym środowisku pustynnym została skrupulatnie zaplanowana i nadzorowana przez konsorcjum budujące zaporę. Aby pomóc robotnikom skupić się na pracy, zabroniono spożywania alkoholu i hazardu. Dziś nadal można zobaczyć niektóre z zabytkowych budynków w centrum miasta, przemieszane z kawiarniami, restauracjami i pracowniami artystycznymi, ale nie znajdziesz tu żadnych kasyn, hazard nadal nie jest tu legalny.

12

Doświadczenie ulicy Fremont

Śródmieście lub „stare” Las Vegas to obszar, w którym zaczęła się legenda Las Vegas. Dziś nadal możemy cieszyć się odwiedzaniem słynnych i kultowych kasyn, takich jak Golden Nugget, Binions i Golden Gate. Rozpoznasz wiele neonów! Dziś gwiazdą programu jest Fremont Street Experience, pokaz świateł nad głową, który obejmuje 2 przecznice. To nic nie kosztuje i co wieczór przyciąga tłumy!

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

14

Hoover Dam

Perhaps the greatest feat of American engineering and certainly an icon to this day, the Hoover Dam must be seen up close to be appreciated. Take a 1/2 day sightseeing drive to Hoover Dam, or include it as a stop on your way to Grand Canyon West Rim. At the dam, park and walk onto the wall to appreciate the sheer size and magnitude of the project. You will want to take photos from different vantage points around the dam to capture many fascinating details.

15

Hoover Dam Bypass

A modern-day engineering feat that equals the construction of the Hoover Dam - almost! Officials recognized the US 93 route over Hoover Dam as a dangerous and congested bottleneck with both existing and projected traffic volume. Construction began in 2003 and was completed 7 years later in 2010. This arch style bridge sits 890 feet (270m) above the Colorado River, the 2nd highest in the United States.

16

Grand Canyon West Skywalk

Grand Canyon West Rim is located on the land belonging to the Hualapai Nation. The Grand Canyon West offers a mixture of amazing Grand Canyon views and traditional cultural experiences all in a single location, relatively close to Las Vegas. Included in the Legacy fee to visit the area is shuttle to access 3 distinctive areas: Eagle Point, Guano Point and the Ranch. The Glass SkyWalk is perhaps the most iconic and famous feature of exploring this part of the Grand Canyon. The U-shaped, glass-floored walkway extends out beyond the rim, so you can look through your feet to the canyon floor thousands of feet below.

17

Guano Point

This stop in Grand Canyon West offers some of the very best views of the canyon, even from the general viewing area. The remains of an old mining operation in caves in the side of the canyon walls makes the location even more interesting that "regular" canyon views! If you have the energy, you can follow a relatively easy scramble to the top of a rock mound to get an even more elevated view of the canyon, and the rim.

18

Eagle Point

This natural rock formation is located on the lands of the Hualapai Reservation and can be enjoyed as part of the Grand Canyon West Rim experience. The outline of an eagle spreading its wings is obvious and you'll learn more about the legends and these sacred rocks. The setting on the edge of the rim of the Grand Canyon is spectacular.

19

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

The 13 mile loop drive explores the canyons famous red rocks, but also has many elevated viewpoints, other startling rock formations and ancient petroglyphs. Hikers have a chance to explore several canyons, or to do some fun rock-hopping trails. The Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center offers indoor interpretive displays, an outdoor plaza filled with interactive exhibits, spectacular views of the surrounding red rock and a neat gift shop.

20

Spring Mountain Ranch State Park

Spring Mountain Ranch is a state park and preserved historical site with some of the oldest building in Nevada. It has had some famous celebrity owners through its history - if only the walls could talk! The ranch is beautifully preserved and offers living history and cultural programs.

21

Ethel M Chocolates Factory and Cactus Garden

Who doesn't love chocolate? Forrest Mars Sr. (yes, of the Mars candy empire) founded Ethel M Chocolates as a retirement project in 1980. Named after his mother, this little venture reached $150 million in sales within a few years.

22

Lake Mead National Recreation Area

There is a superb elevated viewpoint along the Hoover Dam access road, where we can enjoy expansive views of Lake Mead, which of course was created by the back-filling of the dam.

23

Boulder City

Developed as a base to house the 5000 workers constructing the Hoover Dam. Built in a harsh desert environment it was meticulously planned and supervised by the dam construction consortium. To help keep laborers focused on their work, alcohol and gambling was prohibited. Today you still see some of the historic buildings in downtown, mixed in with cafes, diners and art studios, but you won't find any casinos, gambling still isn't legal here.

This stop in Grand Canyon West offers some of the very best views of the canyon, even from the general viewing area. The remains of an old mining operation in caves in the side of the canyon walls makes the location even more interesting that "regular" canyon views! If you have the energy, you can follow a relatively easy scramble to the top of a rock mound to get an even more elevated view of the canyon, and the rim.

Eagle Point

This natural rock formation is located on the lands of the Hualapai Reservation and can be enjoyed as part of the Grand Canyon West Rim experience.

Take a 1/2 day sightseeing drive to Hoover Dam, or include it as a stop on your way to Grand Canyon West Rim. At the dam, park and walk onto the wall to appreciate the sheer size and magnitude of the project. You will want to take photos from different vantage points around the dam to capture many fascinating details.

Hoover Dam Bypass

A modern-day engineering feat that equals the construction of the Hoover Dam - almost! Officials recognized the US 93 route over Hoover Dam as a dangerous and congested bottleneck with both existing and projected traffic volume. Construction began in 2003 and was completed 7 years later in 2010. This arch style bridge sits 890 feet (270m) above the Colorado River, the 2nd highest in the United States.
