We had booked a tour to the west rim of the Grand Canyon, this differs from the cheaper south rim tours in that the west side is on an Indian reservation which means you pay an extra $45USD to enter the Hualapai Nation (who consider themselves a separate sovereignty ), the good news though is that you save a few hours traveling time than taking the long way around it to the south, time put to good use by accessing the glass skywalk (itself separate and overpriced but since you are there might as well do it) and enjoying the views longer. In fact too long that we didn’t catch one of the sideshows there being the local ranch. Check out the first canyon shot at Eagle Point! (can you see it…).
Note the tours are not the most efficient time wise and the Hoover Dam “stopover” was a photo op from the “back” of it (note they are building a passover so you will not be able to walk on the dam in the next year or so which I would in hindsight have liked to do).
After the tour we wandered the strip once more before another morning flight to our next destination…the city of angels.
