West Rim
The West Rim is the western end of the Colorado Canyon. It is a protected area of the Hualapai Indian Tribe. It is developed by investors and is not managed by the Grand Canyon National Park. It is within three hours one-way from Las Vegas. A U-shaped glass corridor, known as Skywalk was also built here for everyone to feel the height and excitement of the canyon.
Hoover Dam
The Hoover Dam was constructed during the Great Depression from 1931 to 1936. Upon its completion, it was the world’s largest hydroelectric power station and concrete structure at the time! The purpose of the Hoover Dam is to provide hydroelectric power, water storage, irrigation, and flood control from the Colorado River. It will leave you in shock with just how powerful it is and how people were able to construct the dam without the usage of the technology that we have today.

挺满意的,导游很负责,照顾周到,食宿也不赖,这个半自由行的安排我也很喜欢,能把经典的景点都看了,还能有自己的时间去些想去的地方,很合理!
