On our recent trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona from (and to) Vegas we made stops at the Hoover Dam each way. I’ve been to Vegas several times but these were my first trips to Hoover Dam.

Half a year has passed since last year’s Copenhell. Fond memories are still burning bright.

Happy New Year!

Today’s photo features the view from our room when we pulled in to Sedona on New Year’s Eve yesterday. Today’s hikes were amazing.

Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon (South Rim, Arizona)

Our trip to the Grand Canyon was fantastic. We got there just in time for a sunset before a snow storm hit. We spent the night at Yavapai Lodge and woke up to several inches of snow. Hence, there wasn’t a sunrise, but the Bright Angel Trail was awesome in the snow.

Red Rock Canyon

Red Rock Canyon (Las Vegas, Nevada)

Yesterday we did a short hike with my sister’s family to a lovely place I’d never been to before. Today we are headed to the Grand Canyon (for the first time), and beginning tomorrow night we will be in Sedona, Arizona for the new year.

If you ever want to drive the 13-mile scenic road through Red Rock Canyon, don’t go between Christmas and New Years. The road was closed due to high traffic. The only way in, around, and out was on foot. They still charged everyone to use the road which seemed rather odd.

That said, it was well worth the $3 a person price, and you’ll see more by seeing less on foot.
