These pictures are from hoover dam which we went past on our way to flagstaff from vegas. Also pictures from grand canyon.

The last day in Vegas I insisted we visit the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is a vast valley that has been carved by the Colorado river over millions of years.

Getting there and back is a real pain as it takes 5 hours to get there and 5 hours to get back, which was always going to be tricky given that we needed to catch a flight to Wash...

The views of the south rim are as peaceful as they are dramatic. The canyon is over a mile deep and ten miles across but obviously we only got chance to see a tiny portion. The highlight of our visit was the helicopter ride we took which flew a small distance over the precipice and swooped over the jutted rocks and perilous falls. The pilot narr...

After getting the initial awe out of the way, we drove to Hermits Rest, which was a scenic overlook point west of Grand Canyon Village. This was our trailhead for the next morning's trek to the bottom of the canyon. We watched the sunset over the mighty canyon before organizing and packing our loads for the following day's adventure. Once we fel...

The hour drive from Flagstaff put us at the Desert View entrance to the park. We nervously got out to get our first look at the canyon with which we would learn so much about over the next couple of days. The first view was absolutely breathtaking. Everyone said no picture will ever compare to actually looking over the edge of the rim, and I mus...

No niin, tänään oli sitten Grand Canyonin keikka luvassa.

Otettiin aamulla kello 9, ihan tavallinen taksi tällä kertaa (ei ollut nyt limusiineja lähettyvillä, kröhöm) lentokentälle, joka maksoi sellaisen 20$. Varasin National autovuokraamosta auton ja ajattelin, että lentokentän vuokraamosta olisi sitten helpompi suunnistaa ulos kaupungi...

We rose early the day after exploring Las Vegas to drive to the Grand Canyon. Despite leaving at 8:30am, the casino floor was already (or perhaps still) doing a brisk trade as we passed through. After picking up some breakfast and a Subway for lunch we headed across the Hoover Dam into Arizona. Sadly (as we discovered from a sign by the highway ...

Stayed here when we saw the Grand Canyon. It was Awesome!!

It was a nice short drive to tusayan, only a couple of hours, and when we reached there at midday it was absolutely completeley freezing!!! the wind added to the icey cold and when we reached the I-Max theater we litterally sprinted as fast as we could into the theatre where we got tickets for an half an hour show on the Grand Canyon, and it was...
