SW Road Trip: Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon Part I

After a few errands in Las Vegas we head east. First stop the Hoover Dam and the Dam tour.

It is a five hour drive to the Grand Canyon so we arrived just in time to see the sunset. The National Geographic Visitor Center is open late so we were able to watch the IMAX on the Grand Canyon before eating a late Mexican dinner and going to bed. The Grand Canyon IMAX was filmed in 1984 and follows the history of the first inhabitants and explorers including Powell's trip down the Colorado into the canyon. It is really good and the MOST WATCHED IMAX.

We have big Grand Canyon plans the next day and need to get some rest.
