Arrow Join me on my trip - VI - A jaw dropper at Guano Point

Ok then as I said, from Eagle point we are hopping in the bus
again for a 10 minutes drive and reach Guano point,
another nice and quiet place in the canyon with an amazing view.
Even though it is a tourist attraction its still in it's retained its original form,
not very crowded or polluted or no signs of complete human invasion.


So before you hop into the bus you can stop by and take a quick photo with Santa, its not every day you would see Santa in a desert :-D



And here we are at the Guano point, Hualapai Indian reservation


Just walk up to the edge, climb small hill(very easy) and very nice view of the path you walked.



What's even better standing here??? you'll see when you turn around, you can see a complete 360 view
and you'll be stunned by the enormous creation of nature. One hand on you jaw please, because its gonna drop

At this point its absolutely impossible to resist a panoramic view. I got one :-D


On the left side in the shadows between the mountains what you see is the Colorado river that feeds the Hoover dam.
[i wanted a 360 view, but my lappy just wont take the load, but that's almost 270]


I'm sure every one by now is very hungry, at least I am, i can smell good food here. Lets get some lunch and
and when we return to the base we have some more time for some shopping and activities if interested. The food is very simple but you all are gonna love it.

You could make money as a tour guide AC. You are making this tour so enjoyable and capturing some real great memories. I'm having a great time and some tucker sounds a good idea to me. PAUL
