14 hour bus trip from Las Vegas hotel to Hoover Dam to Grand Canyon to hotel. Included 2 stops (coming & going) at po-dunk gas station with a Subway in Kingsman AZ. Hoover Dam was nice - smaller than I thought it was - just got to look at it, small gift shop with porta-potties? Government center .... invest a little $$$ & get real toilets - it's not like you don't have access to water at the Hoover Dam. More bus riding - then stopped for free lunch included with trip. Choice of either Chinese/Pizza Hut or mac & cheese at the National Geographic center. Didn't do the IMAX - bought the DVD instead - Saw a lot of interesting things - Grand Canyon was beautiful. Got to a couple lookout points - Mather Point and then Bright Angel gift shop & lookout point......which is very similar to the previous stop. Then amidst looking around - we were evacuated from the area due to a propane leak. Firemen showed up - basically pushed everyone back from the area which was fantastic response. After about 30 min, nothing was found & firemen left & we were allowed back on our buses and without further ado, left the area & headed back to Las Vegas. Tour via Greyline Tours ---- Bus driver Uncle Milty (Milton) was very informative & knowledgeable. The only bad taste was when he TOLD us he would be passing the hat and $10-$15 was acceptable for a tip.
We had a superb week long road trip including Grand Canyon, Page, Monument Valley and Sedona. The blog below contains details and tipshttp://myblogs-deepak.blogspot.com/2015/03/finding-america.html
Absolutely incredible views. There are no rails so you can go wherever you want for that perfect picture - if you're brave enough! One of the best days of my life.
在大峡谷三侧里,南缘应该是最漂亮的,地貌非常特殊,气场很强烈,天是蔚蓝的,时而有苍鹰从头顶飞过。南缘到拉斯维加斯最远,我们这次是从拉斯维加斯开车到旗杆镇后才上来的。
千万年来风雨的剥蚀,使原本平坦的土地出现了深浅不一的沟壑,裸露的石层也被雕琢得千奇百怪。斑驳的树干悠然而立,像被定格的张牙舞爪的怪兽,无数爪牙伸向天空,仿佛要采摘天空中的星云。
25 dollars a head in which is the same whether one hour or one week A bit sillyGreat to see the canyon Not much places to eat You loop around in a 40 mile loopA ounce in a lifetime visit
南缘果然名不虚传,风景棒极了……我们是12月中旬去的,有机会开车去了所有的边缘观景点,在那些地方观赏美景,直到满意了才走……并且,当时游客很少,所以真是非常难忘的经历。
在这里至少要准备花上一天的时间,可以坐往返巴士到处看看。公园里会比较挤。但是大峡谷的风景非常的壮观。有的游客爬到边缘的岩石上面去拍照,还是不建议这么做。
我以前去过一次大峡谷,那时是在中午。到那里看日落以及有阴影和一直变换的色彩的清晨真的很好。从我们的住处到大峡谷南缘有班车,在通向公园的路边我们看到了许多北美黑尾鹿,包括一个大的雄鹿以及许多麋鹿。这段经验真的让人难忘。
