Back at the hotel, pack your bags and move on to the next stop, Hotelrancho, a hotel famous for its western filming locations, where many movie stars stayed at the time, and the hotel lobby has a retro style from the beginning of the last century, where the most recent hit American drama "Breaking Bad" was filmed.

Saying goodbye to Gallup, the highway landscape is slowly beginning to drift into desert landscapes, including the Red Rock Mountains that resemble the Grand Canyon and Bryce National Park, near Gallup there is the former chiefyellowhorsetradingpost, Indian tents scattered at the foot of the rock face, and unconsciously entering Arizona.

Before entering the first city, Holbrooke, passing through the famous Canvas Desert and Fossil Forest, since the end of September, after a trip to the Western National Park, once again return to the magical natural landscape, the Canvas Desert is a Gobi with different shades of ochre, looking to the north, such a wasteland is completely like a forbidden area of life.

But there are still some thorny bushes that grow stubbornly.

Crossing Highway 66 to the south side, it is the fossil forest, the first few viewing points are just different colored rock landforms, flying sand on the road and stones are really ¥♂,ww∷w.Like the monster in Journey to the West is about to kill the posture of coming,It's quite terrifying。 There is a landscape called the Crystal Bridge, which at first glance looks like an old tree falling in the middle of the rocks.

Forming a natural single-plank bridge, it was found that the tree had already been fossilized crystals, and the trunk section was replaced by the annual ring pattern, which was translucent and had different colors of spars. It is very amazing, there is a large area at the entrance of the Fossil Forest Park, and there are sections of "wood" or "wooden stakes" lying on the ground.

In fact, all of them are multicolored crystal fossils, and the small museum tells the story of what this desert used to look like, and in 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 a piece and take it back as a souvenir, but the stones in the park are not allowed to be picked up, so you can buy them if you want.

When you arrive in Holbrook, walk along the town, it is also very deserted, the more signboard on the side of the road is the Indian tent motel, the prototype of the teepee in the car story is here, in fact, the motel is still a stone house, but the shape is in the shape of a tent. A vintage car was parked in front of each tent.

The next Joseph City and Winslow are not bright, in order to find a strategy on Joseph City, the giant plastic rabbit Yunluo and Yan Shenyu also went the wrong way, in fact, the plastic rabbit is really ordinary, the former trading post is now long gone.

Double Arrow this place is more special, I thought it was a small town, in fact, this place has nothing else except a relatively large hotel, I really don't know what kind of people will choose to open a hotel here, not in front of the village and not in the store. Arrive in Flagstaff in the evening and stay at an Indian-run motel.

$50 including tax. It's already quite cheap. Tonight, I also found a local Chinese restaurant to have Chinese food, which tasted good, the portion was also full, and the price was moderate. At that time, when he stopped at the entrance of the restaurant and was about to enter, a middle-aged man with ragged clothes and dirty face walked up to Yunluo and Yan Shenyu and begged, saying that he was very hungry.

Want some money to buy something to eat. Yunluo saw that he was pitiful and gave a few coins, and the other two companions said that their first reaction was quite scared, because they saw a strong man walking straight towards Yunluo and Yan Shenyuche, and thought it was a robbery, mainly because they didn't know English and didn't know what the other party was talking about. So it's very tense, and it seems that communication between people is still very important.

The day's trip has nothing to do with Route 66, but takes this opportunity to go to Horseshoe Bend and Monument Valley, 20 days ago I have actually been to Horseshoe Bay with Mushroom MM, this time I revisited, I went to Monument Valley anyway, I was going to the north, I just set off not long after I found that the car was out of gas, and Yunluo relieved them that the fuel tank alarm could drive at least 15miles.

After about 10miles, I found a gas station on the side of the road, and it didn't matter if the price was expensive or not, I would add half a box first, and then talk about it, along the way, Yunluo described to them how thrilling Horseshoe Bend was, and people with fear of heights were estimated to have weak legs, and Yunluo said that Brother Yu was already a little weak, and this time Yunluo was like a tour guide, saying goodbye to where they parked.

Tell them what the 4 crosses across the road mean, tell them to bring mineral water and prepare to walk 1 km of desert terrain, and show them where they can take a condescending shot of the cliff edge in Horseshoe Bend.

Compared with the last time, this time the time was relatively early, not yet noon, so the Colorado River in Horseshoe Bend was still in the shadow of the cliffs, Yunluo himself began to walk north, looking for different angles, and heard that Lao Yu shouted, there was no follow-up, and it was estimated that there was nothing to do, so he continued to play by himself.

Lying on the edge of the cliff and looking down at the canyon, I am still a little afraid of heights to the point of weakness of my legs, but I don't have this fear when I am parachuting on a plane. Later, when I returned to the car, I heard why Lao Yu shouted, because Jiang Ying was tripped over a piece of grass when he was walking on the edge of the cliff, which almost caused a tragedy, and Lao Yu was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

Jiang Ying also said that his heart sank at that time, and his whole outlook on life was shaken after a false alarm, as if he walked in the ghost gate for a while, and he was really frightened. This time, when I left Horseshoe Bend, I deliberately paid a moment of silence to several crosses on the side of the road.

Peggy couldn't find a suitable place to eat, so she planned to drive to Monument Valley first, drive northeast on Highway 160, and have a McDonald's lunch at Cairn Tower, a small town south of Monument Valley, and go north along Highway 163, the terrain of Monument Valley gradually comes into view, and a straight road leads to the horizon.

Towering sandstone towers in the desert on the side of the road, like giants of ancient Indian tribes, drive through an intersection to the right (east) to enter the most scenic section of the Monument Valley National Park, the entrance fee seems to be $15, but continue north along Highway 163, past the state line of Utah and Arizona, about 10 miles. There is an elevated area where a road leads down to the Monument Valley.

Forrest Gump has a shot in this movie that was filmed here, which is also the most representative picture of the American highway, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu arrived in the afternoon, a little backlight, in fact, it is better to shoot in the morning when the light is smooth.

Then go back. There is a road leading to the gas station in the opposite direction of the road into the Monument Valley, and the scenic route of the valley is basically a circle, and the car can drive down, but it is all red dirt roads, and the road is dusty.

The closer you get to evening, the more magical the scenery becomes, and when you return from the valley floor, you will find that the view from the observation deck above is actually the best, with the most famous landmarks of three sandstone towers standing in the northeast. As the sun gradually sinks, it is dyed a blood-red color by the afterglow of the sunset, exactly like the imaginary scene.

When I watched Yusuke Ishida's "If You Don't Go to Die", I saw him describe that he was reluctant to leave in this desert, and watching the sunrise and sunset every day was very spectacular, and the seeds of feelings formed in my heart, and I must come here for a visit. Now the wish has been granted, and the sunset is over. The mood still can't calm down the initial dream. Looks like they're all going to arrive.

In fact, Monument Valley has deviated from Route 66 for at least 300 kilometers, but this is actually the place where Yunluo wants to reach the most during the entire American trip. Would have liked to stay in Tubacity and it would have been nice to enter from the east gate of the Grand Canyon tomorrow.

But the whole city is full and expensive, so I have to give up. Found a Chinese restaurant. For $40, the three of them ate very satisfied, and finally rushed back to Flagstaff for the night.

Yesterday was the second time I went to Horseshoe Bend, and today is the second time I went to the Grand Canyon, and the weather was amazing, and it was a sunny day. So not only did I go to a few viewpoints on the east side that I went to last time, such as the grandviewpoint, but I also parked a car and took a shuttle bus to a few viewpoints on the west side that I didn't go to last time.

You can see the rust-red snake-like Colorado River at the valley floor, and the thin hiking trails that loom through the valley that seem to cross the northern edge of the Grand Canyon. We recommend Pimapoint on the west side of the South Gorge, the 270-degree open view view is invincible, and there are many suitable for cliffside thrillers.

The place of the photo, in the grandviewpoint Yunluo climbed the big rock again, the two buddies did not dare to come, saying that they saw that their legs were weak, and many times, during the journey, Yunluo would still be complacent because he arrived in some places where tourists rarely visited, and had a different perspective.

This time, I also met a team of Harley motorcycle riders, a group of old boys who reunited after graduating N years, traveling around the Western National Park together, carrying a Harley heavy motorcycle with a roaring motor is really very popular, and I really envy these ways of traveling that can graduate for many years and get together again and at will.

Those old classmates and boys in Yunluo are generally bound by family or career, and a 35-day vacation may be a luxury, let alone a long-distance run.

After visiting the Grand Canyon at about two o'clock in the afternoon, I had some McDonald's at the South Gate, and began to continue on Route 66 all the way to the west, before arriving at Kingman, where I checked in at night, I passed a small town called Seligman, which is the best-preserved town on Route 66, and you can feel the western style of the last century everywhere.

There's a shop called rustybolt (you don't have to look for it, it's just on the side of the road), and there are a lot of dolls filmed inside and outside the roof window, like a chase from a western. There is also a long-established barber shop that seems to have been featured in Japanese travel guidebooks.

Because there are many Japanese tourists who have come to visit, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu met two groups of old Japanese people at that time, both of whom entered this barber shop while holding a map in their hands, and there was a big Betty doll in it, which was cute. The roadside house was also a two-story wooden townhouse in the western style of the time.

Painted in a variety of bright colors, there are police cars parked on the side of the road that have been abandoned for many years, and a poster of Elvis Presley stands on the side of the road, welcoming everyone on the road.

When they arrived at Kingman, they also found a motel to stay, and Yunluo simply ate a little instant rice bought in the supermarket, and the two of them drove out to find a restaurant to improve their food. Motel didn't have wifi, so Yunluo ran to the door of a nearby McDonald's to rub the net, and about an hour later, he saw Brother Yu running over with a huffing face.

Questioning Yunluo why he didn't stay in the house, the two of them couldn't find Yunluo after dinner, and couldn't enter the room, Yunluo 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." He pulled out a key card from his butt pocket. I couldn't hold it on my face a little, and I went back in a daze.

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

Last time, I fell asleep on the way from Kingman to Las Vegas, and I didn't know it when I passed the Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam is not far from Las Vegas, on the border between Nevada and Arizona, and there are two bells on the dam.

They represent the different time zones in which these two states are located, the Pacific time zone and the mountain time zone, and the watch should be moved forward by one hour after entering Nevada. The Hoover Dam has barred the Colorado River into a Mead Lake at its deepest depth, more than 150 meters deep, the lake is as clear as jasper, and there is a channel more than 10 meters in diameter on the east side of the dam near the bottom of the rocky mountain to the south.

There is no bottom, and Big Brother Megatron probably flew out of here. To enter the Hoover Dam, you need to buy a ticket and the security check is very strict, because the dam is too easy to target, and if it is damaged, the whole of Las Vegas will be plunged into darkness.

When I arrived in Las Vegas, I went to the outlets to shop, in fact, the two of them had to fight hard, Yunluo just found a place to rub the net, ate a Chinese meal in the restaurant, and temporarily booked the Monte Carlo Hotel, which was super cost-effective, not recommended at all, and it was better to add some more money to live in "mgmsignature" or the Venetian.

Very ordinary room, cramped, and no fridge and microwave, wifi is only available in the hall, completely speechless. In the afternoon, Yunluo didn't bother to go out, and gave some suggestions to the two friends, they went to Wynn to have a buffet, and then watched the show. Yunluo waits until nightfall to go out, because the charm of Las Vegas is at night.

As soon as I went out, I saw the band playing on the side of the road, and the very heavy metal music made people's hearts a little loaded, but the heroine's ungrateful performance and round and slightly upturned buttocks still made people can't take their eyes off.
