Out West Trip in 2015 - Day 1-3 - Las Vegas - Grand Canyon

Sonja March 1, 2017

In the summer of 2015 we took a longer road trip around the Grand Canyon. I never blogged the trip but really wanted to go back and document it anyways.

We took 10 days off in July 2015, flew to Las Vegas and started our epic road trip. We did a little bit of everything... camping, Airbnb and hotel.

Here is our itinerary:

Day 1: Flew into Las Vegas... arrived late at night. Picked up our car and stayed in a cheap hotel

Day 2: Left early morning Las Vegas and hit the road towards the south rim at the Grand Canyon. Along the way we stooped at Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Kingman AZ (for some In-N-Out Burgers) and ended the day with an amazing sunset at the Grand Canyon. We stayed two nights at the Mather Campground.

Day 3: Lots of exploring and a little hiking at the Grand Canyon.

Hello! My name is Sonja McGill. I am a photographer in the Cincinnati area, travelholic, and apparently now a blogger. I love to share my story. My travel stories, my story struggling with depression and my own story. I am hoping this will be a space of inspiration and motivation to live life to the fullest.

I spent 2 nights with a friend in the Dolly Sods Wilderness. When we first started, there was a sign that said “do not attempt to hike if you don’t know how to read a map and use a compass” and boy were they right! We became experts
I spent 2 nights with a friend in the Dolly Sods Wilderness. When we first started, there was a sign that said “do not attempt to hike if you don’t know how to read a map and use a compass” and boy were they right! We became experts in reading maps and elevation changes! We went through snow, freezing rain, hail, bogs, unmarked trails and three days of wet feet! And I would do it again in a heartbeat! It is nice to know that I can be comfortable when I am uncomfortable. #dollysods #backpacking

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind”
