A great tour across the Arizona State, in the United States of America

Arriving in Aizona with three traveling companions aboard a rented SUV iperaccessoriato few days earlier in Los Angeles. We enter the state from Nevada across the bridge sull'Hover Dam, the largest dam on the Colorado River. We stop at a rest area to an overlook of the dam marked by two towers, then continue south in a stony desert where we encounter very little traffic despite the wide streets and in excellent condition. In Kingman we take the detour to the famous Route 66, once the only road link between east and west so as to be considered the backbone of the U.S., have even been abandoned and is now frequented almost exclusively by tourists traveling between Chicago and Los Angeles . Many travelers entirely cross this long road that crosses many states, we prefer to make a quick glimpse in the stretch that leads to Peach sprigs and then fall on the most convenient Interstate 40. On Route 66 we see distributors and Refreshments abandoned, a dusty road surface and little traffic. We stop in a service area survived for tourist use, still has the old fuel pump, many relics of its glorious past and a few cars of epoch. Inside from the store are exposed autographed photos of Hollywood actors in memory of their stay here. A register is made available to travelers to leave a trace of their passage, and so one turns the pages of my mates and get the signature of his daughter and her boyfriend arrived here a few days before. Continue on Route 66 looking for a restaurant, some signs seem to indicate, but when we approach we find are places abandoned. After a few kilometers we finally a place where you can dine, the atmosphere is spartan but the ladies who run it are very sociable. A full stomach we continue our journey back approach on Interstate we leave to Flagstaff for betting in the Grand Canyon. Before reaching the destination we stop for two small airport in Tusayan to get information on traveling by plane and helicopter flying over the canyon, but the first start will be the next morning and the cost is high for they give up. Entrance to the Park Ranger purchased by the card that will allow us to visit with no additional payments a good part of the natural attractions of our trip. After a few minutes we are on the edge of the Grand Canyon that we admire from above, the fracture is not so big that it is difficult to understand the real blow up even if training is open below us are very beautiful. We wait for the sunset, when the canyon is constantly changing shades of color. After this spectacle of nature, found in the properties of the Grand Canyon Village are complete, leave the park in Tusayan and go back to a motel where there are also very discreet. Before going to bed we go out for dinner in a characteristic style Western Steakhouse, quite expensive but with a nice atmosphere. In the West the most typical dish is a high-rare steak served with a potato in the oven and cooked whole in a crumpled aluminum foil, sometimes they put in the pot also an ear of roasted corn.
The next morning we make a hearty breakfast at the hotel then returned in the park to see the canyon in the morning light. Apart from a train near the village road that leads to some of the most interesting vantage points of the canyon but did not get to the end of the road because some of it is closed for works. After several intermediate stops in all of which take the next train back to the village where we make a detour to the visitor center and museum. Let us take our car left near the railway line crossed by an old-fashioned train and exit from the park by taking the East Rim Drive that provides additional vantage points of the canyon from different angles. From the top you notice the trail hikers paths with a long journey to reach the bottom of the canyon that is Indian reservation while a helicopter flies over a lot more smoothly numerous gorges. Tusayan in area, not to be confused with the same name where we stayed, there are the remains of an Indian village and a small museum that preserves Native American ornaments. Shortly after we leave the park and proceed to Page, a town close to Lake Powell where we inform you to visit the Antelope Canyon but it is already entering the chiuso.Costeggiamo Lake Park Glen Canyon. The Powell is an artificial lake created by a dam on the Colorado with its water covered the bottom of a canyon, forming a surreal setting the colors pink and ocher. On the banks of the lake there is a marina where many houseboats are moored for tourists. Page returned to take accommodation in a motel and have dinner in nearby steackhouse offering great steaks as well as the possibility of being a self-service salad.
The next morning we return to Steackhouse, this time for breakfast, but we are not as good as the night before and the staff is irritating. After lunch we go to one of many specialized agencies nell'Antelope and partly on large trucks. Two of my companions are placed beside the driver while I was traveling with another friend on the back open. Along a street of sand in the middle of a desert of stones where the wheels of ocher means brisk walking a narrow crevice in the rock raraggiungiamo, Antelope Canyon. You could walk following the lead inside the narrow canyon between stones that seem to twist into one another, the sunlight filter through the difficulties with strange lighting effects this environment, a cross between a fairytale landscape of fairy tale and a painting surrealism. The Antelope is not great but it's definitely special, the cost is high because of the excursion is carried out only with a guide and a portion of the ticket is for the Indian reservation where he belongs. Go back to Page and resumed our car we continue towards Monument Valley. Having traveled nearly 100 kilometers one of my teammates realize that he had forgotten his cell phone on the shelf of the bedroom window of the motel so we go back to Page, but will be useless to search for the boy cleaner it will already probably appropriate. Besides insult to injury, 200 kilometers round trip between routes more and no telephone. Near Kayenta surprisingly heavy rainfall, we prefer to wait to stop in a McDonald's. After the rain we reach the entrance to Monument Valley Indian Reservation in full for not having the National Park we have to pay the ticket. The monoliths of Monument Valley are visible even from the state but switches to the side is another matter, among other things, our SUV we can easily deal with the dirt road to the Park. These features large stones are very familiar because we have seen in many western movies with John Wayne. Those films were directed by John Ford who has devoted one of the most beautiful vantage points. It's like being thrown as if by magic in one of the many films of this genre and admire this truly monumental monoliths. Leaving the park little bee the sun sets on the Monument Valley from the road that just comes out in Utah (also part of the Monument is located in Utah).
For the record when returning from Utah have come a short way in you

For the record when returning from Utah and Nevada before returning have come a short stretch of road along the territory of Arizona 15 near Littlefield. Here we also went out in search of a snack, but the only place we could find seemed piutytoisto dark so we returned to Highway continue the journey. A real remote corner of America, a frontier village in a desolate place. Maybe in the U.S.A. there is still a bit of Wild West!
