From Yosemite, we drove to Las Vegas and spent a couple of nights in the city. Emi loved the fairytale hotel and the m&m store. We had decided to drive to Grand Canyon from the north, but we took the wrong turn somewhere, and ended up driving through Zion National Park. We drove north on I15 through St George and Hurricane. The park is in the southern part of Utah in the junction between the Colorado plateau, the Great Basin and the Mojave desert.

After visiting Zion, we drove through Kanab towards the Grand Canyon. The drive through the Mojave desert and around the Grand Canyon through the Kaibab National Forrest turned out to be amazing! There are endless stretches of semi dessert steppe and grassland plains.

We did not drive the old route 66, but we drove a similar route from Flagstaff to Amarillo following the I40, though Arizona, New Mexico and entering Texas.
 |
| We have passed through several of the route 66 cities including Barstow, Flagstaff, Holbrook and Albuquerque. |
