The Southwest up to Omaha
Movin' On
2018年4月25日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
After the Meteor Crater, we had to get a move on. We have to make it all the way just outside Santa Fe tonight! Lots of coal mines and energy plants and refineries and so on along I-40. And tons of wacky Indian souvenir shops since we are in and out of tribal lands (mostly Navajo Nation).もっと詳しく

Meteor Crater, Continued
2018年4月25日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
This museum was really cool and they were adding onto it to expand the visitors area. We were surprised to find out the astronauts from the Apollo mission trained here because the landscape is similar to the moon, and it helped the scientists improve the equipment the astronauts traveled with.

The scale of the crater itself is incredibly vast and it’s hard to really convey it in a picture. I like the statistic that 2 million fans could watch 20 football games being played on individual fields all simultaneously.もっと詳しく

Meteor Crater
2018年4月25日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
We came to see the Meteor Crater because it was on our way but it was ABSOLUTELY worth the stop. The crater formed 50,000 years ago when a large meteor struck the ground at a steep angle. It was traveling so fast it took only 10 seconds for it to hit the ground after it entered the atmosphere. Because the location was and is desert, the site has been well-preserved with little erosion or plant life growing around and over it (essentially hiding it from the naked eye). It’s nearly a mile across!!!もっと詳しく

We started off the day at Meteor Crater RV Park, a nice stopover close to a bunch of cool sights.

Moving on
2018年4月24日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
After seeing the Grand Canyon, we drove back on the highway to our RV. Would you know that during all this time together, I never realized Eric had founded a popular steakhouse in Tusayan Arizona? I guess it goes to show you never really know somebody.

And after we got back to Williams, we hooked up our truck and drove on down the road to our next destination: Meteor Crater outside of Winslow, Arizona.もっと詳しく

Navajo Point
2018年4月24日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
We decided to drive out the east road, Desert View Drive, to see all the viewpoints. We drove out to Desert View Watchtower, where we discovered the “Snack Bar” serves only ice cream and cookies. Then we drove back to the village, stopping at each scenic lookout along the way.

First up was Navajo Point, a fan favorite.もっと詳しく

El Tovar Hotel

If we ever stayed in the park village at a hotel, I would pick El Tovar hotel. This is the view off the patio and all the guests were just sitting around taking it in.

Mather View
2018年4月24日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
This is the classic view from Mather Point, a short walk from the Visitor’s Center. It’s too cool that we can take all the time we want to hang out and really take in the views without jostling for the best position. The sun is briiight today but the weather is perfect-mid 70s with a gentle breeze.もっと詳しく

Grand Canyon Visitor Center
2018年4月24日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
We made it up to the South Rim (despite being afraid the highway would be closed from a forest fire the day before) and the facilities are beautiful. They have an entire village up here complete with visitors center, several spectacular lodges, bookstores and more. It’s definitely the off season but I can imagine this place would be a DISASTER during tourist season.もっと詳しく

Driving to the Grand Canyon
2018年4月24日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
On our way to the park of the day, we couldn’t help but stop in Valle. This gas station is all decked out in Route 66 style complete with retro cars and trucks. I also loved the throwback campground across the street called Bedrock. They had the huge Fred sign, a themed playground for kids, and even a Dino skeleton.もっと詳しく

We packed up and moved our RV to a safe place for the day while we explored the Grand Canyon. We really enjoyed listening to the train going by our campsite and we hope to come back to Williams someday.もっと詳しく

Williams, AZ
2018年4月23日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌫 15 °C
And we made it into Williams, Arizona for the night. This was the last town to be bypassed by the interstate. We are staying at a charming RV park associated with the Grand Canyon Hotel & Railway, which employs a beautiful passenger train to carry people up to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon every day. We went to downtown Williams, which is a charming tourist attraction (not trap!) with restaurants and boutique shops, many with the Route 66 theme. Another town we would love to spend more time in!もっと詳しく

SELIGMAN, AZ! This adorable town feels like the heartland of Route 66. I believe a couple of brothers decided to keep the feel of Route 66 and made it their life’s mission to maintain the kitschy feel of the town. It is absolutely worth a trip in of itself if anyone has the time! We drove through when most things were closed but we would looove to come back.もっと詳しく

Route 66
2018年4月23日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Bring on the funkiness of Route 66! Although the road looks like an out-of-the-way rural backroad connecting tiny rural areas. Which is basically what it was. The railroad is still running strong through the whole area.もっと詳しく

We decided to take the long cut and get off the interstate so we could drive a stretch of Route 66. We joined up in the town of Kingman and next up was Hackberry. Hard to imagine this being the first road that linked the entire country.もっと詳しく

Lake Mead
2018年4月23日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
We had initially planned to tour Hoover Dam, but after trying to find a replacement tire for the truck and before our long desert drive, we decided just to drive by Lake Mead. It has the largest water capacity of any man made reservoir in the United States, although for the last 15 years or so it has had less water than Lake Powell, just north of it. The drought conditions and population expansion dependent on the reservoir has contributed to the severe water problems in the area.もっと詳しく

Leaving Las Vegas

Being in the motorhome, towing the truck, we opted to take the freeway/highway route that skirted us all the way around the city. This is the closest we ever got to downtown and The Strip.

Mount Charleston Lodge
2018年4月22日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
At the recommendation of our very kind camp hosts, we drove up the mountain past our campsite to discover the Mt. Charleston Lodge. It’s a charming wood building with several standalone cabins rimmed in Christmas lights. We ate a dinner of chili and NY style pizza while listening to Johnny Cash and watching dusk fall over the canyon.もっと詳しく

Driving in here we had no idea this beautiful country would lie behind the hills. The road and desert was totally barren until it opened up into this incredible landscape! Crazy to think what could be hidden behind a hill or curve.もっと詳しく

Valley of Fire
2018年4月22日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
The Visitor’s Center is set into this beautiful rock formation (which surrounds the road completely). The park itself consists of a single main road and a single off-shoot road which leads to hiking. There are two campgrounds nestled amongst the rocks, which are incredibly scenic. The land is so barren and without water that even Indian tribes couldn’t locate here permanently.もっと詳しく
