After another cool night in the tent, we packed up and left Grand Canyon National Park. After a brief fuel and breakfast stop in nearby Williams (cool old western town), we jumped back on the I-40 and continued west. Stunning scenery flashed by as we enjoyed the remainder of Arizona and followed 93N into Nevada, at the Hoover Dam.
The Dam itself is one border between the two states and two time zones, as is the new bridge built high above the Dam after 9/11 and concerns that terrorists could park a van full of explosives ON the Dam. We still drove across the Dam, but had to clear security first.
Also enjoyed a panoramic vista of adjoining man-made Lake Mead before travelling the final distance to Las Vegas.

Okay, after a thorough examination of the pics, I am now reassured: the passenger took the pictures. At those speeds....
