In this video we make the complete scenic road trip drive from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the Hoover Dam and the Las Vegas Strip.

This trip takes us through some of the most iconic landscapes in the American West. We start our adventure at the Grand Canyon’s South Rim before heading south on Arizona Route 64. We’ll see the desert glow as we transition to I-40 and closely follow the historic Route 66 path to Kingman, Arizona at golden hour, just as the sun sets.

The drive continues another day as we head north on U.S. Route 93 for a mandatory stop at the Hoover Dam. We’ll take a moment to marvel at this incredible feat of engineering and the massive scale of Lake Mead and the wild Colorado River. Finally, we make our grand entrance into Las Vegas, ending our trip amidst the energy of the world-famous Vegas Strip.
