Weekly Field Trip: Grand Canyon
This week we continue our sightseeing trip with the Las Vegas base camp by crossing the Hoover Dam in to Arizona and driving (some pictures are from a helicopter trip as well) 6.5 hours through the dessert to one of my favorite places on Earth- the Grand Canyon. This is right up there with Yellowstone as one of the best places I have ever been and I highly recommend the trip to anyone who possibly can. I also highly recommend that if you are not part grizzly bear like my self that you wear pants and take a fleece coat as there is a massive drop in temperature once you enter the high mountain dessert of the South Rim. Just to illustrate this we left Vegas and its nearly 100 degree temperatures and found snow on the ground at the Grand Canyon (Once again PPPPPPP :)). Also for anyone visiting make sure you check out the steak house across from the IMAX theater, best food I ate on the entire trip (which included time in LA and Vegas). Enough talk, lets commence with the digital tour:
