The Grand Canyon





The Grand Canyon is a must see for anyone visiting the states. Natalie decided that the best way to get there was in a pink a jeep. The jeep held six and there was only one male in there. I can't imagine why.





The Hover Dam creates Lake Mead. Some of the native goats can be seen in the picture. We were told that the dam is so big that the concrete used in the construction won't cure until 2040. I make that almost 100 years to set.



As we approached the Grand Canyon we entered Indian land. There was also rattle snakes and tarantula but we didn't see any.



The tour took us to the new sky walk. We both went out on the platform which has a glass bottom. Natalie was a bit scared of how deep it was and wouldn't let go of the hand rail the whole time.



For lunch we pulled up at an old ranch full of cowboys.





It's difficult to show how big everything is out there. I was able to climb to one place that gave me a 360 degree view of the canyon. Natalie is in the picture here to give you an idea of the real size of the place.
