Day 2 was mostly driving from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City, about an 8 hour trip. But before heading to Utah, we stopped at the Hoover Dam to check it out. I’m proud that for two Mexicans driving around the Southwest, we managed to avoid spending all but 30 minutes in Arizona.
Vegas was a last minute addition to the road trip. But since we were going up the 15 anyway, why not stop?
Just before heading out on the road trip, I stopped by La Placita Olvera to grab some pictures.
The Wednesday before Memorial Day, I flew back to LA to pick up my truck, see family and friends, and do a couple of photo shoots. The plan was to leave LA with my buddy Ricardo on the following Tuesday, drive up to Utah and see some national parks on the way back to Los Alamos, NM.
Instead, I’m in Jackson Hole, WY.
The original plan was scrapped in favor for visiting Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. I’ve got to say, as crazy as it sounds, I’m glad we made the detour; its beautiful country out here.
