Las Vegas到West Rim of GCNP - 北美

※ 引述《AnthonyLHW (矛盾綜合體)》之銘言：
: 在爬文及看過精華區後,
: 發現大部份討論從Las Vegas到Grand Canyon的交通(開車)都是到South Rim那
: 想請問有沒有人知道該怎麼從Las Vegas到西緣呢?
: 看到一些旅行社的tour會途經Hoover Dam和Lake Mead等的,
: 不過看yahoo地圖卻沒個頭緒XD所以來此求助路線資訊~~
: 另外要問的是,從West Rim到LV開車大概需要多久呢?
小弟剛從那邊回來.
詳細的討論在
http://www.backpackers.com.tw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63472
也有.

基本上
http://destinationgrandcanyon.com/map.html
這邊就有很詳細的介紹:
Las Vegas, NV Total Miles: 121
South on US-93 toward Phoenix 32 miles
Go over Hoover Dam and continue South on US-93 40 miles
Left turn (North) on to Pierce Ferry Road 28 miles
Right turn (East) on to Diamond Bar Road 21 miles
**Diamond Bar Road will end at the only entrance to Grand Canyon West,
which is the Grand Canyon West Airport. Parking is free. ▲▲
Approximate Travel Time: 2hrs 30mins

然後我的建議是: 在Diamond Bar Rd 之前能趕路就趕路,
(雖然超速很不應該)
因為從Diamond Bar Rd 之後就是unpaved & rough roads
直到入口之前, 一直都是offroad 的路...
速度很慢.
柏油路只有一點點.

整個路程就像是這樣的:

順道提一下grand caynon west airport的資料:
高度: 4730ft
long & lat: 35.98248N
113.81566W
all from M$ Streets & Trips 2007
