・Hoover Dam
・Drive through Joshua Tree Forest and Grand Wash Cliffs
・Grand Canyon West Rim
・Eagle Point
・Return back to Las Vegas by 6PM
Am i asking too much for a day ?

I once took a one day bus tour from Vegas to Hoover Dam but we got back later than 6pm. I think you can squeeze everything in as long as you don't spend hours at each location. I am actually thinking about doing the same thing next time i head to Vegas. The Grand Canyon is simply breathtaking! Its a great place for some still photography. Hope everything works out for ya.

My Ride: Collected Sept 2009 - BMW E90 M3, Silverstone II, Novillo Black leather, 19" M Double-Spoke alloys, High Beam Assist, Electronic Damper Control, Voice Control, PDC, USB, DAB, High Gloss Shadowline, Sliding armrest, Trim Finishing in aluminium grey.
I flew up to the canyon and back in a day.
Better that driving for hours, stopping for 10 minutes and back in the car again to get back to Vegas.
(Unless u can't keep away from your E60 that is.) There are quite a few small scenic airlines that offer day trips.
Can't quite remember the name of the airline I went with. If I think of it later I'll re-post.
Suffice to say it was a 12 seater and I got to sit in the co-pilots seat. Great views.

Sounds too rushed to me. Any special reason you need to be back to Vegas by 6PM?

Suggested to my family traveling with those small plane ( 6 of us in total ) None of them agreed due to safty reason
Usually a few planes take off together. A friend I was with at time time flew up in another plane.
At the time there was roadworks and didn't fancy driving the 300 miles approx and getting delayed on the highway. I think there was only one long road in and it also meant driving back along the same route which we didn't want to do at the time.
