renting a car for 3 days and driving from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon (and anything else interesting along the way or near by)??


I've done that trip (in a sorry-ass rented Malibu, no less). Hmmm, actually, I think i went Fresno -->Death Valley --> LSV --> Grand Canyon --> LSV --> Fresno. I thought the canyon was great (and would like to spend some real time there some day) but there's a whole lot of nothing between there and Vegas. Bring your Empeg! I *did* stop at the Hoover Dam on the way back and took the high-priced tour (a hard-hat as a souvenir) and found that worthwhile.

I don't dislike desert, just didn't find that rocky expanse of Arizona interesting. I found Death Valley was much more to my taste. Next time, some better wheels.
