Grand Canyon

Today, I got up at 4:30 in the morning but maybe my sleeping time was just 2 or 3 hours because of noise... Anyway, I checked out the hostel and got on the shuttle that took me to the airport.
In this tour, there're only Japanese and English speakers. But every of them was a couple...no chance to make a friend. I felt uncomfortable at that time. But fortunately, after the bus tour, I could be alone because I got free time from 10:30 to 17:30.
When I saw in Grand Canyon for the first time, it was not so good as I expected, still impressive though. I thought Yosemite was better because I saw just one sight in Grand Canyon and I could see a lot of sceneries in Yosemite.
However, after I got free time, I could see a lot of faces of Grand Canyon, and they were so impressive! As I walked on trail, every scenery was different because of the light & shadow of the sun or my views. As the sun or clouds moved, they created different faces of Grand Canyon by making shadows. I was almost cried! The guide said it can prove one third of the history of the earth because the history of stratumta(地層) was over 100 million years! Now I saw the miracle of the earth. There were a lot of points to see nice views, but I liked the sceneries from the trail. I took over 50 pictures, I wanted to take more, but the battery life of my camera was run out. As a total, I walked over 10 km on trails, it was quite hard but it's worth. I regreted I walked too much in Las Vegas.
On the way to Las Vegas, I saw the scenery of Las Vegas from the plane...like New York. 360 degrees was lights, lights, and lights. But outside of Vegas, it was absolutely dark, nothing. I thought Las Vegas is completely unreal world on the desert.
I arrived a new hostel from the airport. I heard the hostel was located near the bus stop of grey hound, but it was not true...quite far. And 6 beds in one dome were too many for me! It disturbed my sleep.
↓Can you understand how wonderful it is through just one picture? I don't think so!
