We visited 3 states today and made it to the Grand Canyon as planned. It was the longest day so far - exactly 555 miles. It got dark quickly and we didn't manage to have a closer look at the canyon but we checked in a hotel right next to it so that we can do it tomorrow before we head for Las Vegas. I know, I know we both said we're not going there again but it seems to be the most convenient way to Minden, NV. We booked Vegas for the weekend and will arrive in Minden Sunday night.

First stop was the Utah tourist information center. It is just incredible how well equipped and informative all these information centers are. They also have free wi-fi and coffee. It is maybe worth mentioning that the hotels here all have complimentary wireless and/or wired internet access - big difference compared to $20 which you have to pay in an Australian hotel for a day ...

Today's drive was again spectacular and the views breathtaking. We stopped in the Arches National Park and explored the place as intensive as we could. It was a short visit because we still had a long way ahead of us. It is hard to describe what we've seen there and the pictures can't give it back 100% but I'll try so here they are:
 |
| just couldn't believe the color of the soil and rocks |
 |
| rock formations in the national park |
 |
| Delicate Arch |
 |
| 105F and we walked to the upper vista point |
 |
| in proper hiking footwear |
We stopped here and there so Ziggy could move few stones off the way:
 |
| "last one and you can walk by!" |
 |
| a little re-positioning |
Agenda for tomorrow:
1. explore the big crack in the ground
2. drive over Hoover Dam
3. make it to Las Vegas
