The West Rim is just two hours from Las Vegas. Travel by bus, airplane, helicopter or SUV and explore the Hualapai Village and see the scenic views of Guano Point and Eagle Point. Complete your trip with a helicopter floor landing, Colorado River cruise, or a stroll on the Skywalk. If you’re a true adventurer, try a one-day whitewater rafting tour.

Destination Guide
The West Rim is the closest part of the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas, about a two-hour drive, which makes it the top choice for day trips and travelers short on time.
Set on Hualapai tribal land, Grand Canyon West trades National Park crowds for attractions you won't find anywhere else on the canyon. Step onto the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a U-shaped glass bridge that extends 70 feet past the rim with 4,000 feet of open air below. Take in Eagle Point and Guano Point, visit the Hualapai Village, or add the zip line.
You can reach the West Rim by bus, airplane, helicopter, or SUV, and many tours let you mix them. It's the only rim where a helicopter can land on the canyon floor, and the only one with the Skywalk.
