Itinerary
- Day 1
Las Vegas to Grand Canyon National Park
An 8am pickup gets you started from the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, and you'll head straight to Hoover Dam for some photos and a quick look around. After that, the drive takes you out on Historic Route 66 toward Williams, which gives you time to see what the old highway is all about. Once you hit the Grand Canyon, you've got choices: hike along the rim if you want something moderate, go down into the canyon for a more serious trek, or just grab a bite at one of the rim cafes and take it easy. Later in the afternoon, you'll make your way to a quieter sunset spot that doesn't have all the typical crowds, then head to dinner in Tusayan or spend the evening hanging around the campfire.

You get to pick how you want to spend most of this day. There's a half-day or full-day hiking option into the canyon or along the rim, depending on how much energy you've got. If hiking isn't calling to you, there's an included tour heading out to Desert View on the East Rim, which has some really dramatic views. Throughout the day, catch the ranger programs that run and take photos wherever you find something worth capturing. By evening, you'll start the drive back to Las Vegas, pulling in around 6pm.
