The experience

The day opens on the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, on Hualapai tribal land, where the canyon drops away in long, dramatic walls. Your guide explains the rock, the Colorado River carving through it, the region's mining past and the Mojave Desert stretching around you. Then comes the Skywalk. You step out onto the glass bridge that reaches past the edge, and the gorge opens up far below your feet. Bags stay behind, and the photographers stationed on the bridge are there if you want a picture of the moment to take home.

At Eagle Point the views open wide, and beside them sits a traditional Native American village you can walk through. You may also get to see cultural dance performances. Further along, Guano Point gives a full 360-degree look at the canyon and the Colorado River far beneath you. You have time to wander at your own pace, and lunch is a BBQ with that scenery all around, plus a voucher for one of the cafes on the West Rim if you prefer another meal.

Later the route leads to Hoover Dam, where the Powerplant Tour takes you down inside the structure to see the facilities that harness the Colorado River and turn its power into electricity for the surrounding region. It is a sharp change of scene after the open canyon, and a fitting way to close a day spent among two of the Southwest's great landmarks.
