Flying Over the Grand Canyon

 lvhelico.jpgTrekking in the Grand Canyon is the dream of many backpackers I know. I’m sure you’re all jealous to know that we will go to the Canyon next thursday. Guess what, we’ve decided not to walk into the Canyon but fly over it. You’re right, we’ve just booked an helicopter tour with Las Vegas Helicopters. We chose the Adventurer tour which is a 4 hour tour over Boulder City, Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and, obviously, THE Grand Canyon. We are so excited about it! We just can’t wait to fly in one of their stars and stripes helicopter!!!

Only 4 days left ’til we arrive in Vegas!

 In a couple of days, I’ll fly to Las Vegas. 5 days of shows (O), casinos (poker!), pool and other adventures (Grand Canyon!)

If you have any suggestions, please comment or send me an email.

177 - Becky and Mike on their Way to the Top

“This is a picture of Mike and I making our way to rifugio Lavarella in the Dolomites during an 8 day trip there with friends. This was the longest day of the trek, but the hike was well worth it when we finally made it to the top of that mountain and saw an amazing view. We were all surprised by an elderly man in his sixties who made it to the top before us, a bunch of eighteen yr. olds! “ - Becky
