A Top Scenic View From The Bottom...Day-Day 45

The temperatures today was much more to my liking with a low of 52F at dawn and a high of  94F when down at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.  Gasoline prices have come down since the California days as $3.689/gallon was the price at a Flying J.  A 5:30 wake up call this morning was not the most ideal time when on vacation but the Jeep tour to the bottom of the Grand Canyon was well worth it.  The day was complete when I returned to a new view of the Hoover Dam from the Hoover Dam overpass bridge.  Both the Grand Canyon tour and the view from the new bridge really made this one of the most exciting days of the trip.  I  want to wish Bob Dylan, my favorite lyricist/artist, a Happy Birthday as it was his 71st today.
My plans for tomorrow are to head further North and to stop in Kolob Canyons in Zion National Park.
It's night time in Nevada!

  1. Remember we always said we were going to take a mule ride down the grand canyon? I think the jeep ride is a much better idea! Glad you had fun.
