Grand Canyon National Park & Route 66

We took our sweet time in the morning and got a nice hot coffee for the one hour drive to the park entrance. It was a bit confusing as the time zone changed again but I think now we're set until we get back closer to the pacific. Right at the first viewpoint that we stopped were majestic wide, far and deep views over and into the Grand Canyon. But there was also a freezing cold wind that made it soon pretty uncomfortable.
We continued to some more viewpoints before hopping on a shuttle (the road is only accesible like this) to the westernmost part of the park, Hermit's rest. From there we walked for about half an hour to hop back on the bus. We liked the park but compared to the others it was a bit confusing.

After leaving the park we took the interstate west and soon afterwards changed on the Route 66 and it's "birthplace", a little town called Seligman until Kingman. There we visited a tire shop to get our tire fixed and it went quick and pretty cheap, so we were soon on our way to the Hoover Dam. But right before we reached it another tire blew 🙈 Luckily we had our spare again and we are getting pretty good at changing the tire. So 20 minutes later we were already back on the road to Las Vegas and it appeared 30 minutes later shining bright at the horizon. Our first stop was a tire shop but unfortunately this time the tire was completely wrecked so we needed to buy a new one.
The employees at the shop were Mexicans, and were super nice to help us right before closing. They also gave us a little prayer 🙏 on the way for our travels.

After that we needed to have dinner and there was even a In-n-out burger 🍔 which we wanted to check out because from what we heard it's really popular. And it really is amazing!! They only offer three types of burgers and it tastes delicious.

Before going to bed we drove through the Las Vegas Strip which was chaotic and super slow but a real experience.Læs mere
