📌 Part One of this Amazing Journey to the Canyon. Bucket list ✔ check off!
My husband and I are in Las Vegas for a 5-day vacation. I've heard that Grand Canyon West Rim is only few hours away from Vegas. We've always wanted to go to Grand Canyon and being this close we didn't want to pass it up. We decided to rent a car and drive along at our own pace. Also we bring some refreshments for this trip.
On the way we stopped briefly at the Hoover Dam and do some sight seeing. We enjoyed watching the desert scenery pass by. Unfortunately we do not have plenty of time to explore the whole area. Planning to go back again next year and this time we wanted to try the helicopter or boating tours.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I visited Grand canyon 2011 during our road trip, hopefully this year we do more road trips.The place is amazing in person and I awed for God's creations.
ReplyDeleteI am wowed! It's no doubt a stunning vista and I am momentarily paralyzed by the view. The lovely subject in the captures is equally stunning as well! ;-)
ReplyDeleteA friend bragged about the beauty of Grand Canyon. Even if I have not been there, I agreed with here. The photos captivated it wondrous scenery.
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos, I love Grand Canyon too, since it's just 7-8 hours drive from San Diego, it's one of the places in the West that we love to go for hiking. It's beautiful at the top, and gets more magical and mind boggling as you hike inside the canyon down to the river, just so many amazing rock formations and color layers, though have been there several times, but am always blown away. oh, I did not know there are Joshua trees near Grand Canyon, must have overlooked them during our drives. you in the red car looks gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteGrand Canyon, is one if not the best Rock formation in the world. Gaganda ng photos mo. Thrilled tuloy ako na makita rin ang site na ito.
ReplyDeleteAlthough there are only rocks, the beauty is still there. There maybe the absence of beautiful plants and colored items but still the rock formation stand out.
ReplyDeleteI've always dreamed of seeing Grand Canyon not only in pics but in real. I'm really amazed at the formation of rocks, great wonders of God. And you have awesome pics, sarap naman ng feeling especially yung nasa background mo yung Grand Canyon.
ReplyDeleteawesome place, must be really great to see it in real...but thanks for sharing these lovely pictures! i hope someday our family can see it. :)
