Day 7 I'm not sure if I awoke early or simply didn't sleep that night. A combination of discomfort and excitement made our 4.30 alarm seem almost too late! For today was the day, today we were going to Havasu Falls! As I've mentioned before, I have mentally split my travels into sections and certain moments like swimming with Whale Sharks or diving the Blue Hole stand out as landmarks in my master plan. Havasu falls was another of these moments. The 62 Mile d...

Day 6 The aim for today was simple, gather supplies and get to the Supai trailhead before sunset. Taking in some of Route 66 along the way. Once we were stocked up with supplies in Ash Fork we finally joined the last remaining section of the world famous Rout 66! Route 66 originally ran from Chicago to Los Angeles, passing through 8 states and the towns that it ran through flourished with the consistent traffic and business. Eventually almost the entire rout...

Day 4 Next we headed to Sedona. A couple of hours south, Sedona is described as the Grand Canyons little cousin. A combination of more vibrant red rock formations and being down in the canyon looking up actually made Sedona a more beautiful than its bigger cousin. The different monolithic rock formations that are scattered throughout the town are known by their fitting nicknames. Some names have obviously been around a while like Cathedral Rock or Castle Rock,...

Day 3 of Arizona Road Trip In 1896, John Wesley Powell described the Grand Canyon as a national treasure that every American should see. I'm not American nor do I have a cool middle name like Wesley but I finally got to see one of our world's great wonders. What appeared to be a short drive on the map turned out to be a very long hour's drive with little to do other than follow the tour busses and jeep tours. Entry into the park was a reasonable $25 per car ...

Las Vegas may not have been for me but it was nevertheless a useful stop off before hitting the road for another road trip, this time I'd be driving. We rented a car from Las Vegas Airport for 9 days in total which gave us enough time to get to the Grand Canyon, see the Red Rocks of Sedona, Drive the last remaining part of Route 66 and do the hike of a lifetime to Havasu Falls and Supai. Day 1 Picking up our Nissan Versa at midday we headed to Kingman, Ariz...
