Discover
the desert's beauty from the air and on the ground in a tour that
combines a flight over the Grand Canyon and a ground tour of Red Rock
Canyon.
Your tour
begins with a flight over the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Colorado River
and Grand Canyon. Enjoy the beauty of these Western landmarks during
this hour-long flight.
After
your flight you will board a tour bus for a trip to nearby Red Rock
Canyon National Conservation Area. Just minutes away from the Las Vegas
Strip, Red Rock Canyon is one of the Mojave Desert's most beautiful
areas.
On the way
to Red Rock, you will stop at the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, a
working ranch nestled at the base of the dramatic Wilson Cliffs, which
was once owned by eccentric millionaire Howard Hughes.
At
the Red Rock National Conservation Area you will stop at the visitor
center and then take a leisurely bus tour around the 13-mile scenic
loop with breaks at the amazing red and cream sandstone Calico Hills,
limestone Indian roasting pits and the pictographs at Willow Springs.
Enjoy a box lunch as your knowledgeable tour guide discusses the fragile and fascinating history of the desert.
