We left Las Vegas for the Grand Canyon adventure. Around 7pm Valle was reached by us. The Grand Canyon Motel & Inn was booked in advance. I did not realize at the time that the room has 11 square meter.

After the Bellagio it was … well … small. Late dinner : burger and salad. Not bad. But the night was a kinda nightmare. Even Mandy did not sleep well. Mattress was very old and smaller than a normal queen size bed. So got up 6:15 am , got a „coffee“ at the market and drove direction Grand Canyon. Parking and shuttle bus were reached before 8am. We checked out already at the hotel. And we decided to do the Red Line hike to Hermits Rest. It has several view points and overlooks on its way. Have a look . We were always very close to the edge… respect to Mandy .

Nothing compares with this. We haven’t seen such natural wonder. The trail ended for us after 11 km. My lower back pain and the nerve pain till my toes forced me to stop. But the experience was great. Stunning view and fantastic impressions. Spent 6 hrs at the GC national park.

Kingman Arizona was chosen for a one night stop. Ramada Motel with nice painted walls and a clean room was picked.

Mandy slept like a rock, I was not able to do so . Sunburned? May be. Haven’t had a red nose before 
