The Black Canyon of the Colorado (only 30 miles from the Las Vegas Strip) is the canyon on the Colorado River where Hoover Dam was built. The canyon is located on the Colorado River at the state line between Nevada and Arizona. The western wall of the gorge is in the El Dorado Mountains, and the eastern wall is in the Black Mountains of Arizona. The canyon formed about 15 million years ago during the Miocene Basin and Range uplift. Black Canyon gets its name from the black volcanic rocks that are found throughout the area.
Only a two hour drive from Las Vegas, the West Rim provides guests with an opportunity to experience the awe-inspiring canyon from many different perspectives. Grand Canyon West is more than just the West Rim. Here, you’ll find two distinct destinations, each offering unique opportunities for exploration. For scenic vistas, ziplining, helicopter tours, the Skywalk, and smooth floats down the Colorado River, head to the West Rim.
If whitewater rapids are more your speed, check out one- or two-day whitewater rafting trips, which depart from Peach Springs, AZ about a two hour drive from the Rim.
