Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon
On the way out of Las Vegas we visited "Counts Kustoms" we arrived there at 09:30 and had a look around the show room at the cars on show - they were great to see and the paint work on some of the cars was out of this world, some of the cars had been on the Discovery Channel show.
They of course had a shop in the show room and I had to buy a few things... A zippo lighter and also a black zip up top.
Then we drove to the Hoover Dam
I was not expecting much from this stop but it is one of the places that you have to see as you drive past so we pulled off the highway and took a little detoured to stop and see how it was... we parked up but we only stayed about 30 minutes - it was okay to see but nothing special.
To be honest it was smaller than what I thought it would be - of course it is big and when you look down is a long way down but I was expecting more...
From the Hoover Dam it was a straight drive to the Grand Canyon where we arrived just after Sunset so we dropped our bags and went to get some food.
The drive was without any problems and again the scenery was beautiful, it is lovely to drive in this part of the world.
On the way into the Grand Canyon we did hit part of Route 66, it was the small town of Williams - this is due south of where we were staying at the Grand Canyon Village.
Williams was a beautiful little town very unique, if you think of Route 66 and the shops and the bars that should be there - this is the place.
Driving from Williams to the Grand Canyon was straight road north - on the way you do not get to see or have any hint that you are getting close to the canyon, the landscape was quite flat and also with forests - you don’t get to see any of the canyon even when you pull into the canyon village.
