A two-day, one-night Grand Circle tour was held on March 22nd and 23rd.
The customers were a couple who are studying abroad at a university in Chicago for work from Japan. (Apply with VELTRA)
I received a photo from the guide in charge, so I will post it.
The weather was fine on the first day (yesterday) and it was sunny in spring, but today the weather suddenly returned to midwinter.
Immediately after sightseeing in the Asahi at the Grand Canyon in the early morning, it began to snow heavily, and the morning trip to Horseshoe Bend took extra time due to the snowstorm.
The photo to be posted is
* This morning's Grand Canyon (Mather Point) where snow clouds hang down
* Today's Horseshoe Bend, also with clouds * The Grand Canyon on the evening of yesterday (22nd), which was blessed with good weather
This time, I would like to introduce the "back face" of Zion National Park.
The most memorable part of Zion is the view of the rugged rocky mountains in front of you.
Many of the sandstone monoliths, which are over 600 meters high, stand up almost vertically, and especially in the summer, you can see many rock climbers aiming for the top of the mountain.
Also, many tourists visiting here are most interested in hiking on a variety of trails.
The trails range from simple 30-minute round trips to one-day trails, mountain climbs to river walks.
In the high season, the parking lot in the park may become full at 8 am.
In Corona Whirlpool, the number of passengers on the shuttle in the park was restricted and it became a complete reservation system, but hiking in Zion became difficult because it was difficult to make a reservation.
However, you can drive to the top of the mountain from both the east and west sides of the national park using a fully paved road without having to access Zion from the park's main entrance (south exit), and then hike into the valley. You can enjoy.
In that case, there is no admission fee!
This time I would like to introduce a trail approaching from the west side of Zion, which is a very easy and comfortable NORTHGATE PEAKS TRAIL.
It is a hike that can be done in just over 2 hours after parking the car on the trail head.
I suddenly came up with it on March 20th, and although there was still a lot of snow in the place over 2000 meters above sea level, the trail with no height difference was a very pleasant time to walk. ..
I will post the photo at that time.
The weather was not good on this day and I want to walk on another trail, so I will revenge on Zion soon!
Just one year has passed since the closure of the Navajo Reservation by Corona. Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley, which are still in the Navajo Reservation, are closed, but other tourist destinations and national parks are open.
It's been almost a year since Las Vegas locked down.
With the deregulation of Corona, people are returning to the city in the spring weather.
It's a refreshing spring, when you want to go out.
Sedna is wonderful, isn't it?
Please enjoy the video of taking an aura photo with such Sedna.

Starting this weekend, a major event called MARCH MADNESS TOURNAMENT will be held as scheduled to determine the national college basketball champion.
It is an annual event at this time of year, but last year the entire process of the event was canceled just before the event, which triggered most of the sporting events to be canceled or postponed.
I think it's a college basketball tournament, but it's a big event that sports fans all over the United States are enthusiastic about.
Sports gambling is allowed in many states in the United States, and it is said that 50 million people bet money and watch games at this event every year.
Speaking of sports betting, casinos here in Las Vegas are home to many fans during these events, staying at casino hotels and betting money on games to watch TV.
The casino hotel in Las Vegas, which has been struggling to manage for the past year in Corona Whirlpool, seems to be expecting a considerable number of people, as the room charge for this weekend is the high season price before Corona.
If you notice, the season is also spring.
Is it the arrival of spring in the city of Las Vegas?
The casino hotel Cosmopolitan Hotel Buffet Wickid Spoon along the Las Vegas Strip will reopen on March 25th. Originally, the buffet is a style where you go to get as much as you like, but the waiter serves it. At the casino hotels along the strip, the Win Hotel has temporarily reopened in this way, but there are currently no open buffets on the strip. Only South Point Casino & Hotel, about 15 minutes drive south of the Strip, was reopening its buffet.

The tour that started on Monday returned to Las Vegas yesterday, and I will post a wonderful photo of Monument Valley from my guide.

The customer this time was a young couple and a baby living in Alabama.
At the beginning of the application, it seems that there were many anxieties such as traveling for a long time because there was a baby, but as a result, I did not get mixed with other customers, so I did not care about others and watched the baby. I was very happy to be able to enjoy sightseeing freely.
Even if the tour comes out for a while, it is unlikely that it will be mixed, so I think that you will be able to receive the same service as the charter.
This is also a privilege of the Corona Whirlpool!
If you are a family with small children who cannot usually take part in the tour easily, or if you are a physically handicapped person, why not take this opportunity to visit the Grand Circle?
On Wednesday, March 10th, we held a one-day sightseeing tour of the Grand Canyon today.
In fact, the third installment of "Kuma Journey" or "I'm going on a graduation trip instead of you!" Was also held at the same time, and three human customers and three teddy bears were mixed.
The weather forecast hit, and today's Grand Canyon was windy and snowstormed from time to time, making it a rather cold sightseeing.
However, despite such bad weather, a large number of tourists were visiting, and I was surprised that there were more people than this time of the year.
Nowadays, MLB (Major League Baseball) spring camps and open games are held every day in the United States, and half of the MLB teams visit the camp here in Arizona. Professional baseball fans from all over the United States are coming to see the open game.
Perhaps I'm also visiting the Grand Canyon.
The photos I will post today are
Mather Point in the Grand Canyon is full of tourists.

Seligman (Route 66) stopped by on the way.
According to the latest announcement from Nevada, the number of people infected with corona was 325 a day and 13 people died. With the number gradually decreasing, we plan to gradually lower the age of vaccination mass inoculation.

On Monday, March 8th, a two-night, three-day tour was held.
On the first day of the same tour as last week, I enjoyed sightseeing in Sedona and watching the sunset at the Grand Canyon.
The temperature has risen for the past few days and it has been quite warm and cheerful during the day, but it seems that cold waves are coming in again, and snow forecasts have been issued for four consecutive days from tomorrow.
The Grand Canyon is over 2,000 meters above sea level and it is not uncommon for it to snow in March.
I used to be hit by snow during Golden Week.
Originally, there is a big difference in temperature during the day, so if you stay in the Grand Canyon, you will need to take measures against the cold throughout the year, so be sure to check the temperature before you go out!
I will post a photo of the Grand Canyon from my guide this time as well.

Mather Point this morning (9th).
Monument Valley, a tourist destination that represents the Grand Circle, is located in the Native American and Navajo reservations. The park is still closed due to the influence of the corona. The photo shows a teardrop-shaped teardrop arch located outside the park and still available for sightseeing. I hope that the vaccine will spread and the park will open as soon as possible.
The US federal government has decided on the allocation of coronavirus to each state based on the estimated population of the census.
The Census Bureau updated the data at the end of the year after the allocation was decided, arguing that Nevada's population is growing at a rate more than three times the national average, which is the reason for the lack of vaccine allocation.
I hope that the vaccine will be available to everyone in Nevada as soon as possible.
Please enjoy the current state of Route 66, which is called the Mother Road in the United States, with a video.
