Drove around Arizona and Utah

Belive it or not this was a "day trip" I made from Phoenix.I woke up at 3am and drove from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon solo. It was a very simple drive, just LONG.Getting there I decided I was going to do a 8 mile hike, so I did! I will have to say that from where I was the Bright Angel Trail isnt as pretty from inside the canyon as it is outside, but I know I didnt go in far enough to see the real beauty of it all.I had the pleasure of meeting a number of German and English folks walking alo...

My husband and I traveled with a couple we do a lot of traveling with and went to see the Grand Canyon and visit Sedona. We drove from our home in California, thru Laughlin NV and onto the Grand Canyon for 2 nights then a week in Sedona.

Pictures from my travels around California. I went on a tour with Suntrek, and we had a really good group of people from all over the world!

Las Vegas, Nevada

Some photos from my gap year travels around North America in the summer of 2004.

I hiked from South Rim down to the bottom of the canyon and then hike back up in three days. The trip was a total of 17 miles.

We drove to the Grand Canyon around 10:00 AM and stayed there until 3:00 PM. We stopped at a bunch of overlooks of which I thought the Hopi Overlook was the best view. It was truly spectacular and there aren't words to describe how tiny I felt standing at the rim and looking out ten miles across a gash in the very landscape. There was a strange mix of humility, awe and strength forming a cacophonous silence between the crowd and the canyon. I was just dumbstruck and had that same feeli...

Headed out around 9:00PM from Orange County,CA making a stop in Las Vegas for gambling. Arrived at Zion National Park in Utah with no sleep at around 7:00 AM. Spent a couple days there, then headed to Bryce Canyon National Park to find it snowing. From there headed through Lake Powell to Flagstaff for a couple nights and a day trip to Grand Canyon. Then south to Lake Havasu for time on the lake with friends/family. Home by Saturday night after a week long trip in time to start school on Monday!

Had a great visit out west,mostly to southern Utah. Visited many national and state parks. I think my favorites were Zion NP and Kodachrome SP, though it is tough to choose. Anyway, I don't need to go to Europe now because all the Europeans were over here :). I'd estimate 80% or more of the people in the national parks were from Europe (even more when you got on the trails). Met many great people from all over. This is a beautiful part of the world. Enjoy the pictures!

After the LV meetup on April 5th, we took lil detour on our way back to Los Angeles since we couldn´t find I15-south. We stopped at Zion Canyon NP, Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Phoenix, Yuma and San Diego before we finally found our way back to Los Angeles

I went on a 3 week trip to Califonia, Nevada, Arizona and Utah.

 the drive  took a few hours from Sedona to get to the Grand Canyon with a stop in flagstaff for warmer clothes, there was snow on the ground up there and we were defiantly not prepared for that at all. we got into the grand canyon in the late afternoon sunday. we waisted no time to make it out to the rim and it is so beautiful. i didn't really remember how huge it is. i know it sounds silly because it is the GRAND CANYON and all but WOW! we hiked around until it got to dark to...

Nadat we `s ochtends nog een mooie wandeling tussen de rode rotsen van Sedona gemaakt hadden (als opwarmer voor de volgende dag), zijn we op woensdag doorgereden naar Grand Canyon. Onderweg hadden we nog behoorlijk noodweer, maar in de Grand Canyon was het nog mooi weer. Vreemde gewaarwording;je rijdt in een heelvlak landschap er naar toe, en dan ineens is er zo`n groot gat. Onwerkelijk, en eigenlijk niet te bevatten dat zoiets groots een canyon is. Maar heel nuchter gezien is het niet meer...
