Arizona: Grand Canyon

After a 6-hour drive from Pheonix we´re almost there!

at the gate



a wild fire obstructing our view...bummer!

Unfortunately, this fire didn´t allow us to see one of the most beautiful sites of the Grand Canyon





Unfortunately, we hadn´t planned our visit to the Grand Canyon meticulously so we didn´t get the opportunity to go for a hike down to the river. We had actually planned to go for a helicopter ride which ended up being canceled due to the strong winds. And the rafting which we intended to do was way over priced!
Oh well... now I´ve gotta go back some day to do it all!


We ended up just strolling around the top of the Canyon










off to Las Vegas


Arizona: Sedona, Pheonix and The Yuma desert

Drive from San Diego to Pheonix 500km to go


taking a break...40 degrees outside in April! Can you imagine what it´s like during the summer??? I can´t!

The Yuma desert. Border of California, Arizona and Mexico



Pheonix

Arizona Diamondbacks' baseball match



Off to Sedona another 160km




















Another 3 hours toward the Grand Canyon
