Grand Canyon, Left and Hoover Dam, Right

Can You Visit the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon on the Same Day?

March 30, 2023

Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. Two iconic, bucket-list places to visit. Can you combine them? Can you even do them both in one day?

Well, the answer is yes … and no. Depending on two factors: How much time you choose to spend at Hoover Dam, and which rim of the Grand Canyon you want to visit. 

Let’s dig into the details.

What part of the Grand Canyon is closest to Hoover Dam?

Hoover Dam was built in the picturesque town of Boulder City, Nevada (although half of the rim is actually in Arizona). From Hoover Dam, the closest rim of the Grand Canyon is the West Rim. Which is approximately 96 miles –  under two hours – from Hoover Dam. So…it’s doable in a day to see both, if you choose Grand Canyon West. 

On the other hand, the more popular North and South Rims of the Grand Canyon , as well as Horseshoe Bend in Page , are all about a five-hour drive from Hoover Dam and are much better done over the course of several days, with overnight visits at those locations. 

In fact, if you’d like to take road trips specifically tailored to Hoover Dam & Lake Mead , or to the Grand Canyon North Rim, South Rim, or Horseshoe Bend and Page, AZ, I’d highly recommend you download the Shaka Guide app with tours of each of these destinations. These are incredibly detailed and loaded with information, entertainment, and even road-trip music.

Is it free to go to the Hoover Dam?

First of all, neither is run by the National Park Service (NPS). Grand Canyon West is on the grounds of the Hualapai Tribe Reservation. And Hoover Dam is run by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

So that means that you have to pay parking and admission fees for both, and neither will accept your National Park Pass. That said, it is possible to see Hoover Dam free of charge if you want to skip the museum and guided tours . 

Below is my ideal itinerary for planning a visit to Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon West. It requires a day of ‘prep’ beforehand, and an optional bonus day afterward. But if you truly only have one day, then scroll down to the one-day version of how to see Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon in a day .

RELATED:  Hoover Dam History: Why Was the Hoover Dam Built?

3-Day Itinerary: Hoover Dam + Grand Canyon 

Day one: las vegas to boulder city.

First things first - take care of business! Fly into Vegas (the best airport location for navigating these landmarks), pick up your rental car, then drive the 30 minutes to Boulder City. 

Boulder City is known as “The Town that Built Hoover Dam.” Stay overnight in the historic, downtown area of Boulder City. I highly recommend the Boulder Dam Hotel with the free Boulder City-Hoover Dam museum inside – which will save you time on Day 2 of stopping at the Hoover Dam Museum . 

Another great hotel that I highly recommend in the historic walking district of Boulder City is the Best Western Hoover Dam Hote l.

Once you have checked in at either of these hotels, this historic section of town is walkable for shopping, dining, and entertainment. And if you happen to have time on your hands around dusk, drive over to the picturesque little Hemenway Park for your first glimpse of Lake Mead and especially to see the bighorn sheep come out to graze! 

The beauty of getting to Boulder City (aside from how adorable the town is) is that you roll out of bed the next morning already right down the street from Hoover Dam, saving you a chunk of time in your quest to see it and the Grand Canyon in a day. After all, you’ve already gotten your flight, rental car, and the drive to Boulder City out of the way. 

Day Two: Hoover Dam & Grand Canyon

Getting there early will also save you a bunch of time looking for parking or waiting in line for guided tours. Once you see everything you want to at Hoover Dam (see the list below) hop back in your car and drive to Grand Canyon West. 

If you time it right, you could have quite a few afternoon hours left to see everything at the Grand Canyon. 

Directions from Hoover Dam to Grand Canyon West:

• On your way out of Hoover Dam, follow Access Road Hwy 172 to Hwy 11 (you’re heading southeast and following signs to Hwy 93 S.)
• Cross the Hoover Dam Bypass bridge and the highway will turn into Hwy 93 S.
• Take Hwy 93 S  (71 miles), then turn left onto Pierce Ferry Road/Hwy 25.
• Turn right onto  E. Diamond Bar Road/261 to Grand Canyon West.

Once you’re heading back to Vegas, if you reach the big bypass bridge overlooking Hoover Dam and still have daylight on your side, you might consider either (or both) these two awesome experiences: 

(1.) Park in the dedicated lot for the Hoover Dam Bypass bridge and walk across it for a heart-stopping view overlooking Hoover Dam. 

(2.) Visit tiny Hemenway Park in Boulder City to watch the bighorn sheep come down off the mountain to graze – an experience you won’t find anywhere else, with an idyllic view overlooking Lake Mead with the volcanic mountains in the distance. 

Then, I’d recommend spending a second night in Boulder City before heading back to Vegas. Here’s why:

RELATED:  Shaka Guide’s Hoover Dam & Lake Mead Tour Itinerary

Day 3: Lake Mead National Recreation Area

Take a stupendous scenic drive back to Vegas through the jaw-dropping Lake Mead National Recreation Area  featuring jaw-dropping overlook viewpoints and hiking trails through the spectacular Mojave Desert, plus water activities in Lake Mead itself.

This park does accept your National Park Pass, and there’s also a great Visitor Center near the entrance for souvenirs, exhibits, free maps, and advice from park rangers.  

Here’s my recommended scenic route back to Las Vegas through Lake Mead National Recreation Area: 

• Take Rt. 93 West to Lakeshore Road 
• Enter the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
• Follow Lakeshore Road through Lake Mead until you reach Northshore Road.
• Turn right on Northshore Road.
• Then, turn left onto East Lake Mead Boulevard to head back to Las Vegas (You’ll see the skyline from the desert before reaching the city limits. It is quite the sight!)

I highly recommend that, for the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead portions of your trip, you download the Shaka Guide Hoover Dam & Lake Mead Audio Tour . It’s a treasure trove of information about things to see along the drive to and from Vegas.

And even though the West Rim of the Grand Canyon isn’t featured on the Shaka Guide tour, you’d just ‘pause’ the tour while you drive out to the West Rim, and ‘unpause’ it again on your way back across Hoover Dam. Trust me – you will thank me later for this piece of advice.

One-Day Itinerary: Hoover Dam + Grand Canyon

If you have just one day to see Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon West Rim and are heading out from your Las Vegas hotel room, my only additional advice is a reminder to get a very early start (we’re talking the crack of dawn) in order to beat the crowds at Hoover Dam. This way you can get in and out of there quickly and won’t have to feel rushed once you get to the Grand Canyon West Rim. Just follow all of the advice listed above, but cram it all into a day!

Your itinerary will look something like this: 

• 6:00 a.m. - 6:45 a.m.: Drive from Las Vegas to Boulder City
• 6:45 a.m. - 7:30 a.m.: Breakfast in Boulder City
• 7:30 a.m.- 10:30 a.m.: Explore Hoover Dam 
• 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.: Drive to Grand Canyon West Rim 
• 12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.: Grand Canyon West 
• 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.: Drive to Lake Mead National Recreation Area
• 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.: Explore Lake Mead
• 6:30 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.: Drive Back to Vegas 

And if you won’t have a rental car to make the drive yourself, there are other options for seeing both Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. You can find any number of bus tour trips out of Vegas, as well as helicopter tours. Personally, I like the idea of a road trip and the freedom to make my own choices along the way.

Now for the details of what to see and do at Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon West Rim. 

Things to Do at the Hoover Dam :

Just so you know, it is possible to park and walk around Hoover Dam without paying. But if you do want a guided tour, I recommend the Power Plant tour. It’ll take you through the underground tunnels to see the generators and show you exactly how the dam works. You can walk the rim of the dam on your own, without paying. And you can park for free on the Arizona side if you’re willing to walk a little. Here’s a rundown of what  you’ll want to see and do at Hoover Dam :

1. Hoover Dam Lookout:

First, before you even park, drive all the way across the rim of Hoover Dam to the Arizona side. Take the road as far as it allows (it’s not far but the views are tremendous) and then when you get to the end, park at the Hoover Dam Lookout for an incredible view of the entire dam. You won’t get another view like this.

After that, wend your way back toward the dam and park in any of the free lots that you pass if you don’t mind walking down to the dam. Keep in mind, though, that you’ll have to walk uphill on the way back to your car, possibly under the hot sunshine of a desert day. So have sunscreen and water on hand if you plan to do that.

Otherwise, pay to park in the Arizona-side lot, or drive back across the dam and pay to park in the main parking garage. Keep in mind this is one of the most-visited tourist attractions in America and those lots can fill up by 10 a.m., so plan to arrive much earlier than that if you want a more peaceful visit!

2. Walk Along the Dam’s Rim: 

Once you park in the lot, walk across the rim of the dam on both sides. One side faces Lake Mead, and the other side faces the Colorado River. You’ll want photos from both viewpoints. 

3. Hoover Dam Bypass or Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

That huge bridge you see above the Colorado River from the rim of the dam is the one you’ll be driving over to get to the Grand Canyon. Although it’s commonly referred to as the “Hoover Dam Bypass,” its official name is the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.

And you can actually park and walk across this bridge if you have the time…and the guts! (But since you’ve still got to get to the Grand Canyon, you might want to save that bridge walk for the way back.)

Look for the marker halfway across the rim of Hoover Dam that indicates the state line between Arizona and Nevada (and the change in time zones!)

4. Visitor Center and Power Plant Tour

Head down the escalator to the Visitor Center and for the Guided Power Plant Tour. (You can purchase tickets for this online, but you’d have to know exactly when you’re arriving since they’re for specific time frames.) 

5. Boulder City Hoover Dam Museum 

Pro Tip! Walk through the free Boulder City Hoover Dam Museum inside the Boulder Dam Hotel. It’s open to the public whether you’re staying at the hotel or not. It’s every bit as good as the museum at Hoover Dam! 

6. Gift Shop

Visit the gift shop for souvenirs but not the cafe.

INSIDER’S TIP: Don’t waste too much time eating in the snack bar and grill … if you order food that needs to be cooked, you could lose valuable time. When the cafe is busy, it takes a ridiculously long time to get your food.

You are much better off having a nice breakfast in Boulder City than packing snacks and drinks (you can get both, plus a portable cooler, at the Albertson’s grocery store in town before you head to Hoover Dam).

Things to Do Grand Canyon West Rim : 

Once you arrive, you’ll have to park your car, pay your entrance fee, and then take a free shuttle to the sites, since they don’t allow private cars on the property. Things to see: 

1. Eagle Point

Stupendous views plus Native American walking tours, an amphitheater with tribe performances, and a gift shop featuring Native American art, jewelry, and crafts.

2. The Skywalk

A horseshoe-shaped glass viewing platform extending 70 feet out over Eagle Point. So you can look straight down 4,000 feet into the Grand Canyon!

3. Guano Point

An almost 360-degree view of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River atop a rocky pyramid-shaped point. You get there by hiking over slightly rough terrain, so wear appropriate shoes. You’ll also spot what’s left of a historic tram that, at one time, stretched way out across the canyon and led to a mine.

4. Hualapai Ranch

Think western ranch – cowboys, wagon rides, roping, and quick-draw demonstrations.

5. The Zipline… 

If you dare! (You can choose to raft the river and other things, too, if you have the time and money.)

Extend Your Trip and Explore More

So, folks, that’s how you navigate Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon West in a day … or three. 

If you have several days to visit Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon, you’d be able to visit Hoover Dam and then spend the rest of the day driving to either the North or South Rim of the Grand Canyon instead of the West Rim. But you’d need to stay a night or two in a hotel there in order to have enough time to explore the sites at these larger national parks and see all there is to see before heading back through Boulder City to Vegas. 

We hope that we’ve given you all the information you need to make the most of your day. Your vacation is extremely important to us so if you have any questions feel free to reach out at [email protected] .

Grand Canyon South Rim, West Rim & Hoover Dam on the Same Day?

You’re in Las Vegas for a vacation and your to-do list is brimming. With just one day for sightseeing and two iconic destinations left, you might wonder, ‘Can I visit both?’

Guess what? Not only can you explore the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon in one day, but you absolutely should! Here’s why:

• Short Answer: Yes, it’s totally possible to hit up the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon in a single day, especially if you’re headed to the Grand Canyon West from Las Vegas.
• Long Answer: This combo is perfect for travelers short on time. While a full Grand Canyon National Park visit deserves its own day, combining it with the Hoover Dam works wonders.

Why Should I See Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam in One Day?

During your Las Vegas getaway, we highly recommend stepping beyond the casino floors and uncovering the natural wonders that await.

Las Vegas offers more national parks within a day’s drive than any other U.S. city. This close proximity allows you to explore multiple attractions in a short span.

If you want an adventurous trip without the hassle of planning, think about visiting the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon . You can explore both famous places in just one day, starting from Las Vegas. It’s an amazing opportunity you won’t want to miss!

Las Vegas To Hoover Dam To Grand Canyon

Embrace this convenient setup: if you’re ready for a full day of exploration, most Grand Canyon tours include a fascinating stop at the Hoover Dam. And if you’re driving your own car or a rental? It’s easy – simply take a break at the Hoover Dam on your way to the Grand Canyon.

Curious about the perfect blend of these two? Let us break down why they fit together seamlessly.

The Hoover Dam Is On the Way to The Grand Canyon

The journey from the vibrant Vegas Strip to the majestic Grand Canyon typically entails a four-hour drive , unless your exploration takes you to the West Rim – a mere two-and-a-half-hour drive away. Along this route, approximately 40 miles beyond the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, you’ll encounter a true marvel: The Hoover Dam.

This dynamic duo of the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam constitutes an ideal escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, presenting you with a splendid chance to cross off both iconic destinations from your bucket list. It’s a single day that encapsulates the awe-inspiring beauty of the Grand Canyon and the structural marvel of the Hoover Dam, all in one unforgettable journey.

There are Different Ways for You to Visit Both from Las Vegas.

If you’re on a Las Vegas adventure and aiming to make the most of your time, why not consider a dual adventure to two iconic destinations? We’re here to unveil the exciting possibilities of visiting both the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam in a single day, all while maximizing your experiences and minimizing your travel hassles.

1. The Perfect Pairing: Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam

When it comes to combining natural wonders and remarkable engineering feats, the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam stand out. Whether you’re a time-strapped traveler or just eager to check two bucket-list spots off in one go, this combo trip is an excellent choice.

2. Seamlessly Incorporating Hoover Dam

The good news is that many day trips to the Grand Canyon, including our small group tours, seamlessly incorporate a visit to the Hoover Dam on the journey. This means you won’t miss out on exploring this marvel of human ingenuity, as it’s a key stop en route to the Grand Canyon.

3. Exploring the Grand Canyon’s West Rim

For those with a day to spare, the Grand Canyon’s West Rim is a popular choice. With breathtaking views and attractions like the Skywalk, it offers a taste of the Grand Canyon’s majesty. This option is ideal for travelers who want a glimpse of the canyon’s beauty without an extensive time commitment.

4. Embracing the Classic Experience at the South Rim

If time permits or you’re seeking the quintessential Grand Canyon adventure, make sure to include the Grand Canyon National Park’s South Rim in your plans. This classic experience promises panoramic vistas, immersive trails, and a deeper connection to this natural wonder.

5. Navigating Time and Distance

Venturing to the Grand Canyon South Rim involves more than a four-hour drive from Las Vegas. If combining the South Rim with a Hoover Dam visit in one day sounds enticing, our top recommendation is to opt for a guided tour. This way, you’ll forgo the driving and leave the logistics to experts.

6. Hoover Dam En Route to the Grand Canyon South Rim

For an even more rewarding journey, consider hitting the Hoover Dam on your way out to the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. This strategic plan lets you enjoy the dam’s marvels and then dive deep into the South Rim’s wonders over the course of a few days. With abundant exploration opportunities at the South Rim, a few hours would only scratch the surface.

In the end, the choice is yours: whether to embark on a day-tripping adventure that combines both marvels or to extend your experience for a more in-depth encounter with the Grand Canyon’s grandeur. Regardless, the allure of the Grand Canyon and the engineering brilliance of the Hoover Dam await your exploration. Make the most of your Las Vegas escapade by crafting a personalized itinerary that resonates with your wanderlust.

Why Should I Visit the Hoover Dam?

The Hoover Dam stands as one of the most remarkable feats of engineering in American history. Constructed during the challenging years of the Great Depression, this dam not only claimed the title of the world’s largest man-made structure upon its completion in 1936 but also emerged as a major hydroelectric power producer.

The dam’s towering presence at 726 feet in height and stretching 1,244 feet in length is best appreciated in person, as its sheer scale is awe-inspiring. Whether you’re seeking a family getaway or a reprieve from the vibrant energy of the Las Vegas Strip, the Hoover Dam offers both an educational and entertaining experience

Moreover, the dam’s significance extends beyond its engineering marvel. It stands as a testament to the unwavering determination of the American populace. And if that isn’t reason enough to visit, there’s the added allure of Lake Mead, a sprawling reservoir spanning 248 square miles. This breathtaking body of water, the largest and most picturesque reservoir in the nation, has the capacity to hold a staggering 28.9 million acre-feet of water.

What Options Are There for Visits to the Grand Canyon?

Grand Canyon West Rim

The optimal choice for experiencing the Grand Canyon from the vicinity of the Vegas Strip is by heading to the West Rim . Situated at a distance of roughly 130 miles from the heart of Las Vegas, this rim offers the nearest access. The journey typically takes around two and a half hours. The West Rim boasts several distinctive features of the canyon:

• Eagle Point: This area derives its name from a rock formation resembling an eagle and offers an amphitheater, an art and gift store, and the renowned Skywalk. The Skywalk is a glass bridge constructed by the Hualapai Indians.
• Guano Point: Providing a comprehensive 360-degree vantage point from the Highpoint Hike, Guano Point stands as one of the premier locations for admiring the canyon’s beauty. It also features the remnants of a historic tram that once extended 8,800 feet into a guano mine.
• Hualapai Ranch: If an overnight stay is on your agenda, this location offers lodging and traditional cowboy entertainment.

Grand Canyon South Rim

On the other hand, the Grand Canyon South Rim , housing the Grand Canyon’s most iconic attractions, is situated approximately 275 miles away from the Vegas Strip, translating to a four-hour drive. This region treats visitors to the most renowned and stunning vistas of the canyon:

• Grand Canyon Village: The South Rim’s most renowned viewpoint, Mather Point, draws significant crowds due to the region’s popularity. This part of the canyon tends to be bustling with visitors.
• Desert View Drive: Here, one can relish equally magnificent views with fewer crowds. While a short hike might be necessary, locations like Desert View Point present an all-encompassing 360-degree panorama of the canyon.
• Hermit Road: Embark on a bicycle tour of Hermit Road and pause to take in the breathtaking views from Powell Point. This area features splendid outcroppings, offering fantastic opportunities for capturing mesmerizing photographs.

Final Takeaways

One stop tour for Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree forest, and the Hoover Dam

Bus pick up was convenient and tour was everything that we expected and more. The views from Guano Point were breath taking. Seeing the Joshua Tree Forest and stopping at the Hoover Dam were welcome bonuses. The only negative would be the stop for dinner. In our opinion, an earlier return to Las Vegas would have been preferred over stopping. This delayed our return and options for eating are better in Vegas.

Trip started from Las Vegas at 5:40 AM and ended at 10:30 PM. This was not made clear in any of their advertisements. Admin Staff kept us informed with multiple emails about pickup up point prior to departure. The bus was an old double decker that had seen better days - poor AC, vents and lights above seats not working, seating was very uncomfortable. Trip appeared designed to grift the 50 passengers with multiple stops - most which were unnecessary. Tour guide was knowledgeable but shook all passengers down for an extra $20 each for a Grand Canyon guided tour and hike - tour was underwhelming and hike was not existent. Passengers paid an additional total of $1000 in cash - and for what? Grand Canyon was awesome as usual, but I would not recommend this tour company unless you want to spend 17 hours on a very old and uncomfortable bus, when the max it should take to travel to and see the South Rim is about 12-14 hours. If you are in Vegas, it is better to take a smaller bus (or rent a car) and go see the West Rim. Avoid this travel company.

This was our first time to the Grand Canyon so we wanted to do an organized tour and see the South Rim specifically. Overall the tour was great and worth the money but it was a very very long day. We got picked up at our hotel before 6am and due to a long wait at the park gate (likely due to spring break) we didn’t get back to our hotel until 10pm. Food was great but I was a little surprised we received our bag lunch at the same time as breakfast. No way to keep sandwiches chilled but they were tasty. Dinner was also great, optional and from the same place that provided breakfast and lunch. Brando (sp?) our bus driver did an amazing job getting us to and from safely. Ben our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. He went out of his way to help the non-English speaking guests as well. Would recommend for any first timers but without small children as it is a long time being on the bus. Enjoyed the stop along Route 66 and getting a glimpse of Hoover Dam at night as well.

It was a wonderful trip. Our driver and tour guy were so good. Made us laugh and our tour guide took our pictures and took his time to do a wonderful job. Such great memories.

All aspects of tour were terrific. Very organized. Great driver. Great tour guide. The experience was perfectly curated by the company. I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon. Our tour guide Kate was very knowledgable and a delight. The canyon itself is so worth a visit

3 Reasons Why You Need a Helicopter Tour of the Grand Canyon

• April 24, 2024
• , Travel Information

Many spend their entire lives dreaming of a trip to the Grand Canyon. While you can explore this natural wonder on the ground, nothing compares to the thrill of viewing it from a helicopter. Discover three reasons why you need a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon to truly experience this astounding landmark.

The Unforgettable Experience of Riding in a Helicopter

First and foremost, being in a helicopter is an exhilarating adventure in itself. The buzz of the rotors, the lift-off, and the way it smoothly glides through the air will give you unforgettable thrills.

Every turn and dip of the helicopter brings a mixed sense of awe and excitement, which is especially potent when you’re soaring above one of Earth’s most incredible formations. It’s not just a scenic trip; it’s an adventure that engages all your senses, making it an experience you will reminisce about for years.

Amazing Aerial Views of the Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon, showcasing layers of geological history, is a sight to behold from any angle. However, from the sky, it takes on a whole new dimension.

A helicopter tour offers unmatched vantage points and the opportunity to see the canyon’s vastness, depth, and variety of hues that aren’t as discernible from the ground. From the elevated perspective, you’ll be able to fully take in the Grand Canyon’s immensity and grandeur.

A Chance To Tour Away From the Crowds

One more reason why you need a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon is that it offers you a chance to move away from other groups of tourists. Unlike the viewing points on the ground that often become congested, especially during peak tourist seasons, a helicopter tour provides a serene, uninterrupted experience. This helps make your trip a deeply personal experience.

These reasons show why a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon goes beyond mere sightseeing. At Comedy On Deck Tours, we offer Grand Canyon West Rim bus tours from Las Vegas with the option to add a helicopter ride. With this incredible tour package, you’ll be able to see the Grand Canyon in all its glory from the sky and take videos and photos of your incredible experience on the ground.
