From June 8th, we held a tour of the Grand Circle for 2 nights and 3 days.
The customer was a couple residing in New York who had traveled before returning to Japan after finishing their term next month.
On the first day of this course, you can watch the sunset at Bryce Canyon National Park, Horseshoe Bend, and Lake Powell.
On the second day, we visited Monument Valley (sightseeing from outside the park because the park is closed), Grand Canyon, and Sedona, and finally we went to Sedona to see the starry sky.
On the third day, we will visit Jerome (Ghost Town) Priscod, and finally we will return to Las Vegas after visiting Arizona's famous Saguaro Cactus.
Since it was summer vacation in the United States, all the tourist spots in the Grand Circle were crowded with people. Bryce Canyon National Park also had a hard time because the parking lot was full this time as well.
Customers took part in the tour hoping for the reopening of Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley to the last minute, but we couldn't guide you again this time.
Even so, it was three days that I was very satisfied with the nature of the western United States that I saw for the first time.
I will post the photo from the guide in charge this time as well.

This is a sequel to the article about camping in the Norslim of the Grand Canyon.
On the first day, we visited North Slim and prepared BBQ for dinner early.
The campsite this time was 2700 meters above sea level, 4 miles before the entrance to the national park, and it was cool during the day, making it a paradise for us from Las Vegas. There is a buffalo in the grassland nearby (I could not see it this time) and the deep green is beautiful, and even in the same Grand Canyon, it is a different world.
The main dinner is a 500g ribeye steak that is grilled over an open fire!
On the second day, I moved from the morning and aimed at the unexplored TOROW EAP on the downstream side of Noslim.
In addition to having to run 200 km and 5 hours off-road on a round trip, 2 km before arrival runs on a rocky step like a staircase on a fairly rough road.
However, it is worth going to TOROWEAP even if you have a hard time, and the view of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River from here is the best!
I will also post a few photos.

The Federal Government of Canada is considering gradual mitigation of quarantine measures for the new corona, using domestic vaccination rates and the number of infected people as indicators. Canadian Citizenship and Permanent Residents and their relatives, commercial travelers and international students may not need to be quarantined for three nights at a government-designated hotel after July if they have been vaccinated twice with the new Corona vaccine. there is.
Only Canadian-approved Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson products are approved vaccines. Negative proof of PCR test received within 72 hours of departure is essential, and it seems that self-isolation will be required at home etc. until the test result at arrival turns out to be negative. Foreigners for leisure travel purposes cannot enter the country yet.
We camped in the Grand Canyon North Slim on June 7th and 8th.
Japanese tourists don't often visit the Grand Canyon's North Rim, but the distance and time from Las Vegas is the same as going to the South Rim, which is visited by many.
However, due to the influence of snowfall in winter, the tourist season is short, and it is usually from May to October.
There are three basic observatories, Bright Angel Point, Cape Royale and Point Imperial.
Bright Angel Point is accessible from North Rim's only accommodation, the Grand Canyon Lodge. It is also directly opposite Mather Point on the South Rim. The trail from the lodge to the observatory protrudes into the valley like a horse's back, there are no fences, and there are several places along the way where you can monopolize the scenery.
Cape Royal is located on the opposite bank of the Desert View Point in the South Rim, and is famous for its views of the Grand Canyon through a large rock hole called the "Angels Window".
Point Imperial is the highest observatory in the Grand Canyon, reaching 2,650 meters above sea level, and is a spectacular point overlooking the eastern view of the Grand Canyon.
Surrounded by a lot of trees because the altitude is more than 400m higher than the South Rim on average, you can enjoy the scenery with lots of greenery as if you were on the Canadian plateau, and you can see the autumn leaves in autumn.
In addition, there are few people, so you can enjoy sightseeing slowly.
(Continued to the second part)
I will also post a few photos.

Las Vegas has been lifted from 6/1 on Corona (restaurant, casino 100%, no mask, no social distance). And Saturday that weekend when the maximum temperature rose to 42 degrees Celsius. A man swimming in a fountain in front of the Bellagio Hotel was arrested. Such people come every year. This time, we will deliver the hotel rankings that you would like to stay in such a funky city of Las Vegas.

Ontario has advanced its economic resumption schedule and will enter the first phase from June 11. You can't eat or drink in the restaurant yet, but the patio can accommodate up to 4 people per table. Retail stores have resumed operations by limiting the number of visitors to the normal 15%. Up to 10 people are allowed for outdoor gatherings and sports activities.
Nearly 70% of people over the age of 12 have received at least one new corona vaccination in the state. To date, it has been administered more than 10 million times, and the single dose rate for people over the age of 18 has reached 72%. For the next 21 days, we will stay in the first stage of economic resumption, and after observing the number of infected people, we plan to move to the second stage where the hair dressing can be reopened in early July.
We held a one-night Grand Circle tour on June 5th and 6th.
The customer was a parent and child of a mother and daughter living in Hawaii.
On the first day, I went sightseeing in Sedna and watched the sunset at the Grand Canyon. The current Grand Circle was in the middle of summer, and Sedna also went sightseeing in the heat of 35 degrees Celsius or higher.
The second day started with watching the Asahi in the Grand Canyon, and I was planning to go sightseeing in Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell and return to Las Vegas, but there was an unexpected happening.
My daughter got fever and got sick. First of all, I doubted Corona, but fortunately there were no other mixed passengers and it was reserved, so I consulted with the customer and decided to return to Las Vegas early.
We didn't go to Horseshoe Bend and Lake Puel, which we were planning to stop by on the way, but before 2:00 pm, we picked up and dropped off at the home of our relatives living in Las Vegas.
The medicine I bought on the way worked for my daughter who had a fever, and she became fine at the end of the tour.
It was said that the customer this time had not been vaccinated yet, but the guide in charge had already been vaccinated, so the guide calmly responded.
It's not uncommon for customers to have a fever or poor physical condition during the tour, but it was a shocking moment when it seemed that ordinary things were unusual in the life of a corona wreck for over a year.
I will post a snapshot from the guide in charge this time as well.
