The Hoover Dam

We were able to drive over the Hoover Dam

A great feat of human engineering

 

Water flowing from the Dam

It's a long way down

A memorial to the builders of the Dam 

The Flag Memorial

A view of the new Bridge

The Lake Mead side

Death Valley and Red Rock Conservation Area

One of the hottest places we have been

 

 

One very HOT day
Picture taken at the Visitors Center at the lowest point in the USA

Barren Land as far as you can see

Interesting Plateau

A very pretty place to take a leisurely trip through

Some of the wildlife in the area

Some of the mountains in the Conservation area

This is why it is called Red Rock

Grand Canyon Day 2 Sunrise

Got to the Canyon at 5:00AM waiting for the sunrise, This was the first rays of the sun I caught

The Canyon starting to brighten up

As John Denver's song said;

 "Good morning Sunshine"

The colors were unreal first thing in the morning

The sun getting stronger with each passing minute

If you blink your eyes you may have missed one of the changes taking place as the sun rises

You never know who you might meet at the visitors center in the Canyon

 

 Took a little trip on Route 66

Made it to California after a minor setback with our rental car

Found a great place for camping;.. you interested??
