Group Tour of Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Route 66

Your group tour of the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam begins with a prompt hotel pick-up from your Las Vegas area hotel around 6:00 AM! Your journey will begin with a complimentary pick up in your hotel (Strip Hotels). Head out of Las Vegas well before the big bus tours are finished loading, ensuring more time in the park and space at the viewpoints before the largest bus groups arrive. Less than an hour from the Strip, you’ll stop for pictures at the famed Hoover Dam, a 756 foot tall and 650 foot thick block of concrete built in 1936 to provide electricity for the growing urban centers nearby. After stopping, you'll continue on your way towards Grand Canyon National Park, stopping briefly in Kingman, Arizona for a coffee and restroom break. 

Before arriving at the park, you'll stop for lunch along historic route 66 at Seligman, Arizona. Your complimentary boxed lunch will include multiple options and time to stretch your legs and walk along the pavemet of America's best known western Highway before heading back to the van to continue towards the highlight of the day, your stop at Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim.

Arriving at the park at approximately 11:30 am, you will have options on how you wish to spend your time. You can take the free shuttle to the visitors center, stopping at panoramic viewpoints along the way or spend your time hiking down as far as you dare along the famed Bright Angel trail. Your driver/guide will help you decide what option is best for you. You should have at least four hours of time within the park. Once you've gorged upon unreal vistas and nowhere-else-on-earth photo opportunies, you'll head back to meet your driver for your relaxing drive back to Las Vegas, stopping for bathrooms and a dinner stop along the way. Depending on local traffic conditions, you should expect to return to your hotel by approximately 8:00 pm.
