Grand Canyon South Rim Photo TourSurrounding the glitz and glamour of the city of Las Vegas are some of the most spectacular and beautiful wild lands in North America. With the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Death Valley all in the vicinity, Las Vegas offers great photography tours for travelers to enjoy. Bring your camera to Las Vegas and set out on one of the area’s many fine photo tours on your Vegas vacation. 

Grand Canyon South Rim Photo Tour

For amazing scenery, few places can compete with the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon South Rim Photo Tour gives you a chance to view the canyon from several scenic vantage points. You can spend three hours on the rim and take the gorgeous walk from Mather Point to Bright Angel Point, sometimes referred to as the “most beautiful walk in the world”. During the trip you will learn about the Grand Canyon and the American Southwest from your knowledgeable tour guide. You will also make a photo stop at the Route 66 Train Museum.

  Hoover Dam Photo Tour

The Hoover Dam stands as a testament to man’s ability to harness the power of nature. This remarkable structure has formed the world’s largest man made lake, Lake Mead. You can see the impressive 700 foot tall dam and view the surrounding scenery. This tour also gives you a chance to travel off road to the picturesque Rainbow Canyon, where you can experience a colorful and awe-inspiring landscape. Here you may also get an opportunity to view and photograph the rare desert bighorn sheep that inhabit the area. 

Death Valley Photo Tour 

Despite the macabre name, Death Valley is also a very beautiful area where you can take unlimited photos of amazing scenery. From the mile high Dante’s View to the depths of Badwater Basin at 282 feet below sea level, you can see Death Valley from both high and low. Witness the expansive deserts, volcanic craters, deep canyons, craggy peaks and ornate colors of Death Valley on this beautiful tour.  

With so many incredible sights, you can’t buy enough film to capture all the images of beauty you are likely to come across on your Las Vegas photo tour vacation.

    I got to drive through Hoover Dam. It was very beautiful and great for scenic pictures. I want to go back just so I can see it better.

    I’d never thought of going on a photo tour. That’s a good idea though. I’m sure the tour guides know exactly where all of the hot spots are to take photos.

    This is just a good showing of how vegas isn’t all about gambling.

    I’ve seen several specials on Death valley and that place looks amazin..The name really throws you off as you can definitely expect the opposite of what the name makes it sound like

    I would love to do this. I’ve heard so much about how beautiful it is and I think these tours would really give you a chance to soak up all the beauty and then show others through your photographs.
