Tall Giants

Saguaro cactus can live up to 150 plus years, grow to 50 feet and weigh up to 4800 pounds. They are quite the sight on the hills and landscape.

Our trip to Arizona was awesome, relaxing and just down right enjoyable.

Grand Canyon West

Brayson ~ Your friendly Hualapai tour guide ~ actually he mostly stands there to make sure no body does anything stupid, like fall off the edge of the cliff. Of which you can stand or lay right next to if you so choose.

Hualapai Joshua Trees

...

It was so amazing to see a forest of Haulapai Joshua Trees. Not sure if these relatives to the Yucca are called a forest but that is what it looked like to me. The Haulapia (pronounced Wall-a-pie) Nation have build the Skywalk at Grand Canyon West. Check back tomorrow for these awesome photos.

Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam constructed between 1931-1935. When the new highway bridge (the first photo) that is being constructed is finished, we will no longer be able to drive vehicles over the Hoover Dam.
