Look at this pool. I wonder if they have fires very often? You can see the desert in the background.
It was an Oasis in the desert. I couldn't get over what they did. There was running water you could hear. It made we want to stay there.
This from a Hotel in Death Valley. The next few pictures are all of the Hotel. If you look at the background of some of the pictures you can se the desert.
Same Look out diffrent direction.

Here is looking into a valley.
Here is another veiw, with the brother inlaw and neice.
Here is one of the veiws from the look out.
Here is a picture of the first look out we use.
Here is the same shot zoomed in.
The first with a wide shot.
I look at the picture and just wonder at the colors.
The landscape is quite stark. It was comfortable, but it was winter.
This is the first picture from Death Valley. It took around 3 hours to drive there. We went with only five of us. The 2 sisters, the brother inlaws and the neice.

Here is a picture of Hoover Dam in the dark. When we came back from the Grand Caynon we stopped the dam again. It is a sight to see in the dark. That is like you can see the glow of Las Vegas for way to long a distance.
Here is a picture of the whole group that went to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. How often do we miss the chance to get the group shot?
The sun was setting.
I like this picture because of the lighting.
Another Veiw.
The other side of the tree.
Back to the Canyon
Here is the last shelter
Here is yet another.
Here is an other shelter
Here is a summer shelter
The following pictures are of difrent kinds of indian shelters.
Here is one of the Indians dressed for a dance. He did a Grass dance for us.
Here is another picture looking over the edge.
If you look at the center formation you can see an eagle, the head and wings.
Here is one of the guides explaining why this is caled eagle point.
Here is alook over the edge. But I just stuck the camera out. I would like to go again after the sky walk is done.
This is a picture fom next to were the Sky walk is going to be. Right now there are no railings so you don't want to get to close to the edge. But the sky walk will really be nice when it is done.
Here is the wagon going out again. What a backdrop.
Here is a picture of the western town at least one side of it.
This is the wagon we rode in. There was a small western town they built to go with this.
This is a picture of the Grand Canyon West Rim. I took this picture while I was on the wagon ride. The West Rim is owned by Hualapia Indians. They have a very good presentation. We went to the South Rim 2 years ago but it is a 6 hour drive each way, this was only 2 and half hours.













Here we are looking at the Hoover Dam.
