Las Vegas: Hoover Dam & Valley of Fire Day Trip with Brunch – Valley of Fire, Nevada

EXPERIENCE

Immerse yourself in the story of the Hoover Dam and the Valley of Fire State Park on a guided combo tour. Discover several stunning viewpoints, stop at the Hoover Dam Museum, and savor a tasty brunch at the Bighorn Café before heading to the Valley of Fire.

Be picked up from the convenience of your hotel and relax on the drive to Hoover Dam. At the first stop, explore the Hoover Dam Museum featuring a collection of artifacts, photographs, and personal stories from those who built the Dam.

Next, get a chance to see some Bighorn sheep grazing at Hemenway Park. Then it’s on to the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, where you’ll be standing 900-feet above the Colorado River overlooking the dam.

Learn how the dam was built and engineered from your local guide as you take photos from several vantage points, including panoramic views of Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the U.S. Sit down to refuel at Bighorn Café inside the Hoover Dam Lodge before continuing the tour.

Later, journey to the Valley of Fire State Park and travel back in time to prehistoric days while visiting Elephant Rock.

Explore exhibits about the history, geology, and ecology at the visitor center. Marvel at 4,000-year-old petroglyphs (rock carvings) made by the ancient tribes at Atlatl Rock and learn how years of sediment deposits created sandstone formations at the Beehives.

At the end of the tour, get taken back to your hotel for drop-off.
