Horse Shoe Bend, Arizona

Image
It was quite interesting to go up here.. not much of a walk from the parking space to here.. prolly a 15 minute walk.  On top, you can see an actual horseshoe-shaped water going a huge boulder of rock.  It was quite an interesting panorama.  I saw one camper walking towards me, I think this might have a great view for Sunrise and Sunset!

Horseshoe Bend is located 5 miles (8.0 km) downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Page. ( Wiki )

Upper Antelope Canyon

Quite close to Horse Shoe Bend! Best is too get to the most popular time (around 1130) when you can see the sun go thru the Dark Room (the deepest part of the canyon),basically around mid-day. It costs around 45 dollars for a 1.5 hour tour.  It was quite crowded but we did have a chance to take quick pictures and some parts the tour guide told us where to take a photo, and even took the pictures for us. Also they teach you how to use the camera e.g use chrome for Iphone or P for camera with ISO 400 and white balance AWB! Tip: Go during mid-day and check the time that the sun goes thru the dark room Book in advance. We realize that the tours for that day was already sold out. Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as "Upper Antelope Canyon" or "The Crack"; and "Antelope Canyon" or

Bryce Canyon National Park

Website:  https://www.nps.gov/brca/index.htm Address: Bryce National Park, Utah. This is prolly one of the best national parks that I have seen so far and it is very interesting with interesting hoodos (looks like Totem Poles) and apparently, they are the 'legend people' who were turned into rock because they did bad deeds. Our tour included 1 hour to go down but it was actually not enough and didn't get to go.  We had so many photostops and climbing back up is tad hard as the air is a bit thin. Bryce Canyon National Park /ˈbraɪs/ is a National Park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white co

Where: 2nd floor, The Cosmopolitant, The Strip, Las Vegas Rating: 2 out of 5 star Feedback: 2017-04-15 - I went for a late night dinner at 11 pm and it was quite easy to get a table.  I ordered Pork Ramen and the food came in fast.  Service was generally good with waiters being attentive when we ran out of water, though one waiter who took our orders had a snobbish look when she realized that I was the only one ordering since my two other friends just accompanied me (they were still full feom earing Shake Shack burger. As for the food, I ordered the Pork Ramen ($18).  It had some Prol belly and strips whoch were genrally good.  The egg was poached, rather than the usual Japanese style.  As for the soup, it was tad salty and they way they describe it is it taste like Nissan Instant Ramen!  Generally I was not happy with my food!

BNP Paribas Open 2017 @Indian Wells

Website:  http://www.bnpparibasopen.com/ For all the tennis fans out there, definitely one place to go.  I would suggest going earlier though than during the semis/finals because my cousin suggested that they usually go to to the practice courts and thus, you can see them closer. Tips: It is EXTREMELY hot though so make sure you find a good spot / seat which is covered. OR somewhere in 407 L10-19 or 408 L1-8 because you can definitely be covered by the huge scoreboard Get your sunblock etc You can't bring "open" bottles of drinks and water.  But if it is sealed, it is OK!
