Grand Canyon, Arizona




July 21, 2008

A day before we left Vegas, we rented a car and drove to the Grand Canyon National Park. It was a 4.5 hour ONE-WAY drive, passing along/thru the desert. After that day trip, I felt like the Donkey having uttered "Are we there yet?" a hundred times.

But once you get to see the Grand Canyon (and yes, the Hoover Dam as well), the long drive was (somehow) worth it. Such an awesome sight - the 227 miles gorge carved by the Colorado River.

Unfortunately, on our way back to Vegas, we weren't able to try Route 66 as time and weather did not permit us to do so. Maybe next time/trip.
