My family took a trip last week and it was pretty damn awesome. We flew into Phoenix, drove 4 hours to the Grand Canyon, took a bike tour of the GC.
Then drove to Page, AZ to see Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend.
We then got our kicks on Route 66 and stayed in Seligman, AZ (big Cars fans).
Then headed to Las Vegas for a night.
From there we drove through Death Valley to Anaheim, CA and hit Disneyland Adventure Park.
Then we stayed out in Inglewood and hit up Santa Monica Pier, Lake Hollywood Park, Little Tokyo, then flew home yesterday from LAX.
1,248 miles driven in a fun little Kia Soul rental. I'd never been to Arizona before and I was really blown away at how beautiful the diverse scenery is. Antelope Canyon was surreal. I went for an early morning run on Route 66, very peaceful. As much as I hated the Disney theme park model, it was fucking awesome. We rode the rides from the singles line and waited about 1/10th the time as the standard line and covered the park in one long day.
Driving in Southern California is on a different level.
I have 50 GB of GoPro footage to sift through for some kickass home videos.- Nice. <3 I miss AZ after living there 25 years. Antelope Canyon / HS Bend etc— so pretty. :) Fuck the GC tho... lol... fucking tourist trap hole in the ground!!PonyBoy
