Today we were heading to Grand Canyon but first we wanted to check out the Glen Canyon dam and bridge. We got to the visitor centre and found out they run 45 min tours for only $5 but the next one was an hour away. We decided to get lunch and fill the car with gas then come back. The tour was good, it took us down on to the dam wall and down to the bottom of the dam at the turbines. All in all worth the bit of time we had to wait. From there we drove out the road towards the Grand Canyon and stopped at Horseshoe bend. There was a small walk to the lookout and that was spectacular albeit a bit scary on the cliff edge. Got some cool photos of that while standing on the edge. Then it was about 2 hours to the Grand Canyon and that kind of speaks for itself other than the crazy stormy, rainy, thunder and lightening that we got. We stayed at the Canyon until about 7.30pm which was sunset and then drove the last couple of hours to Flagstaff. Got checked in there to our hotel and then went next door for Ihop. Tomorrow we had to Vegas but not before visiting the Meteor Crater just off the I40 east of Flagstaff.
