## Overview

Trade the bright lights of Las Vegas for a Wild West adventure combining spectacular Grand Canyon scenery with the spirit of the American frontier. Soar over Hoover Dam and the Colorado River before descending 1,500 feet into the canyon and landing at the historic Grand Canyon Western Ranch, where a hearty cowboy-style lunch and optional horseback riding and buffalo safari bring the rugged Old West to life. After your taste of cowboy country, take a scenic return flight over the glittering Las Vegas Strip for a memorable contrast between the untamed West and the excitement of the city.
