If you Google a Map of the Driving directions on how to drive to Grand Canyon Skywalk from Las Vegas. Google is estimating a 2 hour and 20 minute drive. It is approximately 125 Miles or 201 Kilometers to the Skywalk.

You simply take Highway 95 out of Vegas, which becomes Highway 93 just before Boulder City, Nevada, this Highway then takes you through Boulder City and over the Colorado River Bridge to Arizona.

Just a few miles or kilometers before the Bridge, you can drive down to a Parking Lot with access to the pedestrian walkway on the Bridge…for views of Hoover Dam. Allow an extra half hour or more for this stop. Unfortunately, you CANNOT see Hoover Dam while driving across the Colorado River Bridge in a passenger vehicle…the cement dividers are too high.

There are Gas Stations with Restrooms along the the way to the Skywalk.

Now, 73 miles or 117 Kilometers after leaving Vegas on this Highway, make sure you turn left onto the Pearce Ferry Road by the big Grand Canyon Skywalk sign.

I would recommend you get an early start no matter what time of the year you plan on visiting the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Also, in the heat of summer, the earlier you get there, the more comfortable it is. Grand Canyon West is normally 5 to 10 degree’s cooler than Las Vegas…so, it can still be pretty warm out there in the summer. Remember hydration and drink lots of liquids. Sun care is always important in the Southwest, so remember to bring a hat and sunscreen.
