But you get to stop at Hoover dam along the way. Its pretty massive.
This is the damned side its called Lake Mead. Its been so dry recently, that white line is the old watermark.
This is the other side. Its deep.
Those white towers are where they filmed star wars
I liked this sign
We drove into Arizona and stopped at Dolan springs, which is the biggest hole I have ever seen. There is no water to any of the houses, they have to get it trucked in from a spring.
The town only has about 5000 people and 2 small shops, but the have 9 churchs.When we finally arrived at the canyon we went to 2 different spots, the first was eagle rock. you can see why from the photo.
The view is amazing
This is also where the clear skywalk is, its an amazing thing to do, but unfortunately they don't let you take your camera on with you. They take some photos of you out there and then charge you $30 a pop. The floor is made of glass, its a really strange experience. If you look at the photo above its about 5Km to the river down there, and its about 100m wide.The Gualapi indians own this part of the canyon and there are all kinds of Indian displays.
The second spot we went to was amazing. Its called Guano point because they used to mine Bat crap there. It was amazing eating lunch on the edge of the canyon.
Click on the pictures to make them larger, the place was amazing! I would recomend everyone go if they are headed to the states. Its just amazing, my camera could never do it justice.
Anyways we have been in san francisco for a day now. Been mostly around the Haight area. Its really cool. More photos in the next post.
