Back from the Road Trip
Just got back from the road trip to Vegas, Arizona and Utah a couple of days ago. The trip started with Vegas. The drive to Utah from Los Angeles is a bit too long, so we got to stop somewhere and Vegas is the best stop-over. Strolled around the strip in the evening, took some photos which later magically disappeared from my memory card. Bummer.
I had the most fun in MGM watching the lions and in Bellagio photographing the butterflies. Call me weird, but I love animals; what can I say? Gambling is boring to me. :)
Satisfied with Vegas, we went to Zion National Park, Utah. Great views, good hiking. It was cool. The best part was Weeping Rock; we were there at the right time. Wanted to try the Angels Landing, but we didn't have the extra time. Perhaps next time.
Exhausted with the hiking in Zion, we move on to Page town where Antelope Canyon and Colorado River are. We then decided we have to put Bryce Canyon in the agenda even tho we've already 2.5 hours past it. The next day, we forced our self to go to Bryce. When we get there, it was totally worth it. Awesome view. And if that is not enough, it snowed pretty heavily a couple of hours after we arrived. How awesome was that? It was my first snow! I had sooooooo much fun. :)
Going to Bryce was totally the best decision we made on the trip even though we had to add an extra 5 hours on the road. If we had gone to Antelope Canyon instead of Bryce that day, we would had been kicked out due to the rain. And we would be wasting our day since there's not really much to see in the town. note: Antelope Canyon is the slot canyon where in 1997 swept by one of the worst flash flood in the decade and took the life of 11 people.
So yea, postponing the Antelope Canyon to the next day was the best idea. Antelope Canyon was breathtaking to me. I just love the abstract form of the red rocks. It is incredible. After Antelope Canyon we still had sometime to spend before we head back for another stop-over in Vegas so we went to Horseshoe Bend of Colorado River. It was totally magnificent. It was pretty scary at first to stood on the edge since there wasn't any railing whatsoever on the edge of the cliff. But once you got used to it, it wasn't as bad.
I am now back to my old busy routine. Went through some of the photos from Bryce Canyon, Utah. I will go through the rest of the photos and post some here soon.
