Back at the hotel, pack your luggage and head towards the next stop. The hotelrancho hotel is famous for its western film location. At that time, many movie stars stayed here. The hotel lobby was quite retro style from the beginning of the last century. The most popular American drama "Breaking Bad" was filmed here.

Farewell to Gallup, the scenery of the road also began to slowly enter desert landforms, including red rocky mountain landforms similar to the Grand Canyon and Bryce National Park. There is the former chieflyellowhor trading post near Gallup, and Indian tents are scattered at the foot of the rock walls, entering Arizona without realizing it.

Before entering the first city of Holbrook, I passed by the famous Canvas Desert and fossil forest. After my trip to the Western National Park at the end of September, I returned to the magical natural scenery again. The Canvas Desert is a Gobi Desert with different shades of ochre red. Looking to the north, it looks endless. Such a wasteland is completely like a forbidden area for life.

But there are still some thorny shrubs growing stubbornly.

After passing Highway 66 to the south, there is a fossil forest. At the beginning, the viewing points were just rocky landforms of different colors. The flying sand and stones on the road were like the stunning monsters coming in Journey to the West, which was quite terrifying. There is a landscape called Crystal Bridge, which at first glance looks like an old tree lying in the middle of the rocks.

A natural single-plank bridge was formed. When you approached, you found that the tree had long been a fossil crystal. The cross-section of the trunk replaced the annual ring pattern was translucent crystals of different colors. It was very magical. There was a large area at the entrance of the Fossil Forest Park, and there were a piece of "wood" or "wood piles" lying across the ground.

In fact, they are all colorful crystal fossils. The small museum tells the story of the desert here once. During the Jurassic period, it was a dense forest swamp, and many dinosaur fossils were unearthed. Looking at these beautiful fossils, I really want to pick up one of them to commemorate them, but the stones in the park are not allowed to be picked up. If you want them, you can buy them.

When I arrived at Holbrook, I walked along the small town and was extremely deserted. The more signature one on the roadside was the Indian tent. The prototype of the cone tent in the car mobilization was here. In fact, the tel was still a stone house, but the shape was just the shape of a tent. An old car was parked at the door of each tent.

There was no highlight in Joseph City and Winslow that we passed by next. In order to find a guide, Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu took the wrong path. In fact, the plastic rabbit was really ordinary, and the trading station of the past has long since declined.

The Double Arrows is quite special. I thought it was a small town, but in fact there was nothing else in this place except a larger hotel. I really don’t know what kind of people would choose to open a hotel here, without a village in front and a shop behind. I arrived in Flagstaff in the evening and lived in a tel run by an Indian.

It was $50 in tax included. It was already quite cheap. I also found a local Chinese restaurant to have lunch tonight. It tasted good, had enough portions, and the price was moderate. When I was parking at the entrance of the restaurant, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes and dirty face walked up to Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to beg for a while and said he was very hungry.

I wanted to buy some food. Yun Luo saw that he was pitiful and gave him a few coins. The other two companions said that their first reaction was quite scared, because a strong man walked straight towards Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu's cart, thinking that it was a robbery, mainly because they didn't understand English and didn't know what the other party was talking about. So they were very nervous. It seemed that communication between people was still very important.

The itinerary of the day has nothing to do with Highway 66, but I took this opportunity to go to Matiwan and Monument Valley. I had actually been to Matiwan with Mushroom mm 20 days ago. This time I revisited the old place. I had to go north to the Monument Valley anyway. Not long after I left, I found that the car was out of gas. Yunluo made them feel relieved that the fuel tank could drive at least 15 fans.

After about 10 fans, I found a gas station on the roadside. Regardless of whether the price is expensive or not, I added half a box first. Along the way, Yunluo described to them how thrilling Horseshoe Bay is. Patients with acrophobia would probably have weak legs. Yunluo said that Brother Yu was a little weaker. This time, Yunluo said goodbye to them where they were parking.

Tell them what the four crosses across the road mean, tell them to take mineral water and prepare to walk 1 kilometer of desert terrain, and tell them where to take pictures of the cliff edge from a high place in Horseshoe Bay.

Compared to last time, I arrived earlier this time and it was not yet noon, so there were still many Colorado River in Horseshoe Bay in the shadow of the cliffs. Yunluo began to walk north by himself, looking for different angles. When he heard Lao Yu shouting, "There was no follow-up, and it was probably nothing, so he continued to play by himself."

He lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down at the canyon, but he was still a little afraid of heights so that his legs were weak. He would not have such fear on the plane when he was parachuting. Later, when he returned to the car, he heard why Lao Yu shouted, because Jiang Ying tripped and staggered by a grass while walking on the cliff, which almost led to a tragedy. At that time, Lao Yu was so scared that he sat on the ground.

Jiang Ying also said that his heart sank at that time, and after a false alarm, his whole outlook on life was shaken. It was like walking in the gate of hell for a while, and he was really frightened. When he left Matiwan this time, he specially observed a moment of silence at several crosses on the side of the road.

When I arrived at Peggy, I didn’t find a suitable place to eat, so I planned to drive to Monument Valley first, and headed northeast toward Route 160, and had a McDonald’s lunch at the small town of Kane Tower, south of Monument Valley. I went north along Route 163, and the terrain of Monument Valley gradually came into my eyes, and a straight road led to the horizon.

There are sandstone towers in the desert on the roadside, like giants from ancient Indian tribes. After driving to the right (to the east) at a crossroads, you can enter the national park with the most concentrated scenery of the Monument Valley. The ticket seems to be $15, so you can not go in first, but continue north along Highway 163, passing the state boundary between Utah and Arizona, about 10 miles. There is a higher land area, looking back at a highway to go straight to the Monument Valley.

There is a scene in the movie Forrest Gump here, which is also the most representative picture of American highways. It was already afternoon when Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu arrived, and it was a bit backlighting. In fact, the shooting was better when the light was shining in the morning.

Then drive back. The road to the Monument Valley leads to the gas station in the opposite direction. The route to the scenic spots in the valley is basically a circular shape, and cars can drive, but they are all red clay roads, and sand and dust are flying all the way.

The closer it gets to the evening, the more magical the scenery here becomes. In fact, after driving around the valley, I found that the viewing platform above was actually the best view. The three most famous landmark sandstone towers stand in the northeast. As the sunset gradually sinks, it is dyed blood red by the sunset, exactly the same as the imagined scene.

When Ishida Yusuke's "If You Don't Go", he described that he was unwilling to leave while staying in this desert. Watching the sunrise and sunset every day is very spectacular, and the seeds of feelings have been planted in his heart. He thought that he must come here for a walk. Now he has got his wish and the sunset is over. His mood is still unable to calm down. It seems that his original dream will definitely arrive.

In fact, the Monument Valley has deviated at least 300 kilometers from Highway 66, but this is actually the place that Yun Luo wants to reach the most during his trip to the United States. On the way back, I saw the beautiful starry sky near the Grand Canyon, so I got off the car and posted a starry sky. I originally wanted to check in at Tubacity, but it would be nice to enter from the east gate of the Grand Canyon tomorrow.

However, the whole city was full of accommodation and it was very expensive, so I had to give up. I found a Chinese restaurant. The 3 people were satisfied with eating for $40. Finally, I rushed back to Flagstaff at night.

Yesterday was my second trip to Matiwan, and today I was my second trip to Grand Canyon. The weather was very good and it was sunny. So I not only went to several viewing points on the east side that I visited last time, such as grandviewpoint, but also took the shuttle bus to several viewing points on the west side that I didn’t go to last time.

You can see the rusty red winding Colorado River at the bottom of the valley, and the thin hiking trails looming in the valley. It seems that you can cross to the north of the Grand Canyon. It is recommended to pimapoint on the west side of the South Gorge. The 270-degree open view is invincible, and there are many suitable for shooting the cliff edges.

In the grandviewpoint, Yunluo climbed up the big stone again. Both buddies dared not come over, saying that they were weak when they saw it. Many times, during the trip, Yunluo would still be complacent because he arrived at some places that were rarely visited by tourists and had different perspectives.

This time I also met a team of Harley Motorcycle Knights, a group of old boys who reunited n years after graduation. They traveled around the Western National Park together. The Harley heavy motorcycle with a roaring motor is so cool. I really envy these ways of traveling that can be reunited for many years after graduation and can be reunited.

The old classmates and boys in Yunluo are usually bound by their family or career. They may be luxury goods for 3-5 days of vacation, let alone a long-distance raid.

After visiting the Grand Canyon at around 2pm, I ate some McDonald's at the South Gate, and started to continue Route 66 all the way west. Before I arrived at Kingman, I passed by a town called Seligman. It was the best preserved town on Route 66. You can feel the western style of the last century everywhere.

There is a shop called Lasty Polt (you don't need to find it, you won't miss it on the side of the road). There are many dolls inside and outside the window on the roof, such as a Western movie chasing drama. There is also a historic barber shop here, which seems to have been recommended in Japan's travel guide book.

Because many Japanese tourists came here, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu met two groups of Japanese old men at that time. They all took the map and touched the barber shop. There was a large Betty doll inside, which was so cute. The house on the roadside was also the two-story wooden terrace house in the western style at that time.

Painted in various bright colors, there are police cars parked on the roadside that have been abandoned for many years, and Elvis's posters stand on the roadside, welcoming everyone on the road.

When they arrived at Kingman, they also found Touch Tel to stay. Yunluo just ate some quick rice bought in the supermarket. They drove out to find a restaurant to improve their food. There was no wifi in Touch Tel, so Yunluo ran to the door of a nearby McDonald's to get the internet. About an hour later, he saw Brother Yu running over with an angry look on his face.

He asked Yun Luo why he didn't stay in the house. After they came back from dinner, they couldn't find Yun Luo, nor could they enter the room. Yun Luo just looked at him with a smile, "Then how did you get in before?" He was stunned for a moment and said, "Put the room card in the house." While taking out a room card from his butt pocket, he couldn't hold it in his face and went back embarrassedly.

Yunluo deliberately shouted again, "Help you take the sleeping bag in the car?" The uncle shouted in a sharp voice with a little anger, "Why! Take it yourself!" Yunluo was happy again, and his reaction was indeed not as Yunluo expected. Well, Yunluo admitted that Yunluo did it on purpose.

Last time, I fell asleep from Kingman to Las Vegas. I didn’t know what to do when I passed by the Hoover Dam. This time, I not only passed by, but also went around for a while. The movie "Transformers 1" is filmed here. The Hoover Dam is not far from Las Vegas, and at the junction of Nevada and Arizona, there are two clocks on the dam.

It represents the different time zones of the two states, the Pacific time zone and the mountain time zone. After entering Nevada, you have to adjust your watch forward for an hour. The Hoover Dam blocks the Colorado River into a Lake Mead with the deepest depth of more than 150 meters. The lake surface is as clear as jasper. There is a passage of more than ten meters in diameter near the rock mountain on the east side of the dam.

It's not bottom-out, Megatron probably flew out from here. If you enter the Hoover Dam to visit, you need to buy tickets and the security check is very strict, because this dam is too easy to become a target of attack. Once it is destroyed, the entire Las Vegas will fall into darkness.

When we arrived in Las Vegas, we went to the outlet first to shop. In fact, they were just going to have a good time. Yunluo just found a place to go online and had a Chinese meal in the restaurant. He booked a hotel in Monte Carlo. It was very cost-effective and was not recommended at all. It would be better to add more money to stay in "MGM Private Gnature" or Venetian.

The room was very ordinary, relatively narrow, and there was no refrigerator or microwave. Wifi was only available in the lobby, so I was speechless. In the afternoon, Yunluo was too lazy to go out, so he gave some advice to the two friends. They went to Wynn for a buffet and then watched the show. Yunluo waited until night fell before going out, because the charm of Las Vegas was at night.
