Good pre trippie
We are here in Vegas at the moment having driven over from Phoenix via the Grand Canyon.
It’s unseasonably cold at the moment it was -9 the other morning with brilliant sunshine at the canyon .

If you drive to the visitor centre and head for Mather point look out first , you will get your first uninterrupted view of the canyon it’s amazing.

Also pick up snacks way before you start entering canyon lands as they are eye wateringly expensive otherwise.
Check out Hackberry general store on Route 66 if you want to get to the canyon along that road , it’s really quiet and a great drive off the interstate.

We have also done the Red rock canyon scenic drive just out of Vegas which is beautiful.
Take the blue diamond road route as it’s quicker & you pass plenty of eating stops along the way .

We were last in Vegas in 2007 and it seemed a lot quieter last night on the strip but we went earlier just to have a wander.
