Which route do I take to drive from MGM Grand Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon Skywalk?

This is the starting point - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q%26amp;hl=en%26amp;鈥?/a>



Best answer goes to the first person who provide the finishing point, via Google Maps, to the Grand Canyon Skywalk that will allow me to get driving directions.Which route do I take to drive from MGM Grand Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon Skywalk?
look at a map of Nev and Arizona. It is a simple drive from Vegas, across the Hoover dam, to Dolan Springs, Az. From Dolan Springs just follow the signs. Note-- native americans own the land and skywalk. They charge $25 per person to get on the skwalk.
Hi. Very interested in the route you have posted. Checked it out on google maps and seen some views using street view and it looks amazing!!

I have planned a route from our hotel (Bright Angel at Grand Canyon) back to Las Vegas using the points you suggest



Thanks very much, can't wait for next week

Do yourself a favor and don't go to Skywalk because it's not in Grand Canyon National Park nor does it over look the River

If you want to see the real Grand Canyon that i have my bootprints all over the inside of take the time to drive the 4-5 hours and see the real thing .%26gt;get gas in Kingman before you get onto I-40 E

If you want a better [and free ] view of the River than Skywalk will ever give you

use the Desert View [great view of the Rio btw ] exit to GCNP

Take SR 64 downhill to the jct of US 89 N

make a left %26gt;get gas at the Cameron Trading Post

Go up to Bitter Springs AZ and at the jct of US 89A make a left and follow that over Navajo bridge %26gt;If you start climbing steeply on US 89 then you missed the turnoff

pull into the Parking area and walk across the old bridge

Two ways to get back to LAS

If you have about 3 hours of daylight left and the snow conditions on 89A going up the switchbacks from House Rock Valley thru Jacob Lake %26amp; into Fredonia AZ don't require the use of chains

Then take US 89A into Kanab UT and the jct of US 89

Follow that to Mount Carmel Junction UT

make a left on SR 9

Downhill thru the spectacular cross-bedded sandstones at the top of Zion NP

then take SR 9 thru the Park into Hurricane %26gt;get gas either in Hurricane or St George

connect to I-15 S and on into LAS

It's a lot of driving But the scenery from GCNP to the bottom of the Virgin River Gorge on I-15 is just amazing

or.....

Take US 89A back to the jct of US 89 S

Take that all the way to I-40W in Flagstaff

and then use exit 48 at Kingman to get you back to LAS
