Day 12. Inhale. The Great Canyon. Exhale. :)

Morning, today we are leaving Las Vegas and continuing our trip:)

Today we have to go 370 km and we are planning to reach Grand Canyon :)!! The dreams come true!!

We stopped to refuel our car tank and here is quite an ordinary view near the gas station. It’s still shocking for me, how easy is it to buy guns in America.

Sometime I’m feeling myself like home:) Look, it’s classic view for my country 🙂 But, no we are still in Arizona 🙂

Four and half hour and we reached our destination!

When I was planning our route it was a big question for me, what part of Great Canyon to visit, I’ve read a lot of information and decided to visit South Rim. South Rim is open year-round.

For a private vehicle, the entrance fee is $25.

Here are a lot of parking places where to leave your car.
