Day 6 - Vegas, Baby!

As expected, snow kept us from doing our planned hike in Grand Canyon. So we left in the morning to see what Flagstaff, AZ, and its surroundings have to offer. We found some inactive volcanoes and their craters, some more Indian pueblos... and bad weather. Therefore no pictures of that.
Day 6: we followed Route 66 for a while to get up to Las Vegas. Before, I had to see and walk the Hoover Dam (taming Colorado River) and to adapt my watch to Pacific Time.

Joshua Tree

The Dam

Lake Mead, NV

One of the numerous wedding chapels (even Michael Jordan got married here - believe it or not...)

Stratosphere Tower, the highest building west of the Mississippi

And then from the top: Las Vegas by night
