August 25; Day 3
Las Vegas, Nevada to Cortez, CO

Ok, first off I know this is late, but by the end of this day we were so tired I didn’t feel like writing anything, after all we did step foot in a total of 5 states this day!
We left Las Vegas by 9:00 am and already it was in the 90’s, proving that this was going to be a hot day and something we really needed to start acclimating to. We made our usual stops for lunch and filling up the cars, before arriving at the Grand Canyon. The canyon is a beautiful as ever with many visitors enjoying the rim-side view. We weren’t expecting; however, to pay $25 per car for the privilege to see this view!

Along the way to our final stop for the night, we were able to stop and take pictures at the one place in the U.S. that you can be in four states at one time…that is right Four Corners Monument just happened to be on the way! Arriving just before closing, we did have to hurry and gets those photos snapped before they locked the gate.

We finally reached our stop for the night in Cortez, CO after 8 pm, so we quickly took care of a few things and called it a night.
