Скајвок Западни руб Великог кањона

Гранд Цанион Вест Рим се налази на земљишту које припада нацији Хуалапаи. Гранд Цанион Вест нуди мешавину невероватних погледа на Гранд Цанион и традиционалних културних искустава на једној локацији, релативно близу Лас Вегаса. У цену накнаде за посету области укључен је шатл до 3 карактеристичне области: Еагле Поинт, Гуано Поинт и Ранцх. Гласс СкиВалк је можда најпознатија и најпознатија карактеристика истраживања овог дела Великог кањона. Шеталиште са стакленим подом у облику слова У протеже се изван обода, тако да кроз стопала можете гледати до дна кањона хиљадама стопа испод.

Хоовер Дам

Можда највећи подвиг америчког инжењеринга и свакако икона до данас, Хуверова брана се мора видети изблиза да би се ценила. Узмите 1/2 дана разгледања до бране Хувер или је укључите као станицу на свом путу до Западног Рима Гранд Цаниона. На брани, паркирајте и идите на зид да бисте ценили саму величину и величину пројекта. Пожелећете да фотографишете са различитих тачака око бране да бисте снимили многе фасцинантне детаље.

Обилазница Хоовер Дам

Савремени инжењерски подвиг који је једнак изградњи Хуверове бране - скоро! Званичници су препознали руту УС 93 преко Хувер бране као опасно и закрчено уско грло како са постојећим тако и са пројектованим обимом саобраћаја. Изградња је почела 2003. и завршена је 7 година касније 2010. Овај лучни мост се налази на 890 стопа (270 м) изнад реке Колорадо, 2. по висини у Сједињеним Државама.

5

Гуано Поинт

Ова станица у Гранд Цаниону Вест нуди неке од најбољих погледа на кањон, чак и из општег подручја за посматрање. Остаци старог рударског рада у пећинама са стране зидова кањона чине локацију још занимљивијом од „обичних“ погледа на кањон! Ако имате енергије, можете пратити релативно лаку стрму до врха стене да бисте добили још узвишенији поглед на кањон и обод.

6

Еагле Поинт

Ова природна стенска формација налази се на земљишту резервата Хуалапаи и у њој се може уживати као део искуства Великог кањона Западног Рима. Обрис орла који шири крила је очигледан и сазнаћете више о легендама и овим светим стенама. Поставка на ивици обода Великог кањона је спектакуларна.

7

Ред Роцк Цанион Натионал Цонсерватион Ареа

Вожња у кругу од 13 миља истражује познате црвене стене кањона, али такође има много узвишених видиковаца, других запањујућих стенских формација и древних петроглифа. Планинари имају прилику да истраже неколико кањона или да ураде неке забавне стазе за скакање по стенама. Центар за посетиоце кањона Ред Роцк нуди интерпретативне приказе у затвореном, отворени трг испуњен интерактивним експонатима, спектакуларан поглед на околну црвену стену и уредну продавницу поклона.

8

Државни парк Спринг Моунтаин Ранцх

Спринг Моунтаин Ранцх је државни парк и очувано историјско место са неким од најстаријих зграда у Невади. Имао је неке познате власнике познатих личности кроз своју историју - само да зидови говоре! Ранч је лепо очуван и нуди живу историју и културне програме.

Фабрика чоколаде Етел М и башта кактуса

Ко не воли чоколаду? Форрест Марс старији (да, из царства слаткиша Марс) основао је Етхел М Цхоцолатес као пројекат за пензионисање 1980. Назван по његовој мајци, овај мали подухват достигао је 150 милиона долара продаје у року од неколико година.

10

Национално рекреативно подручје језера Мид

Дуж прилазног пута Хувер брани налази се изванредан видиковац, где можемо уживати у експанзивном погледу на језеро Мид, које је наравно настало поновним пуњењем бране.

11

Боулдер Цити

Развијен као база за смештај 5000 радника који граде Хуверову брану. Изграђен у суровом пустињском окружењу, пажљиво је планиран и надгледан од стране конзорцијума за изградњу бране. Да би радници остали фокусирани на свој посао, забрањени су алкохол и коцкање. Данас још увек видите неке од историјских зграда у центру града, помешане са кафићима, ресторанима и уметничким студијима, али нећете наћи ниједан казино, коцкање овде још увек није легално.

12

Фремонт Стреет Екпериенце

Центар града или "стари" Лас Вегас је област у којој је почела легенда о Лас Вегасу. Данас још увек можемо да уживамо у посећивању познатих и култних казина као што су Голден Нуггет, Бинионс и Голден Гате. Препознаћете многе неонске рекламе! Данас је звезда емисије Фремонт Стреет Екпериенце, светлосна емисија која покрива 2 блока. Бесплатно је и привлачи гомилу сваке ноћи!

Las Vegas

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.

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.

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.

83

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.

84

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.

85

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.

86

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.

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.

88

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.

89

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.
