Grand Canyon Trip

My wife and I took the whole family to the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam this weekend on a bus tour from Las Vegas.

Here are a couple of pictures from the Bright Angel and Mather Point. (The pictures don't do the Grand Canyon justice.)

The first one is from the Bright Angel Trail. The second one is from Mather Point.

If you haven't take a trip to the Grand Canyon, I would highly recommend it. I don't know if I would take the bus tour again (too long of a day, we got picked up at 6:00 AM and dropped off at 11:00 PM), but it worked for the first time. I think that the next time I would probably spend a couple of days there.

There's not much development in Arizona on the way to the Grand Canyon. Most of the land adjacent to freeway is being used for cattle ranches. What development there was tended to be Hospitality and Self Storage (lots of flat land available).

We also stopped briefly at Hoover Dam. I'll post a picture of the new bridge that they are building tomorrow.

Your comments are always appreciated. Thanks for reading.
