Antelope Canyon trip for a family of four
We left Qingdao with a family of four and had a direct flight to Las Vegas with a connecting flight in Beijing. After resting in Las Vegas for one night, we started our trip to the Antelope Canyon.

内华达州是世界第三大黄金生产地，也因赌城拉斯维加斯而闻名，这里的博彩业和夜生活发展蓬勃。多家著名赌博和酒店公司均位于内华达州，如米高梅公司、金沙公司、哈拉斯娱乐公司等，这里的大型赌场每年吸引着全球数千万游客光顾。州内重要的公路有80号和15号州际公路，拉斯维加斯麦卡伦国际机场，全美航空和西南航空转运中心。内华达州的州府是西邻加利福尼亚州的卡森城。拉斯维加斯是美国内华达州人口最多的城市，有着以赌博业为中心庞大的旅游、购物、度假产业，是世界知名的度假地之一。州内第三大城市里诺因人口众多，有“世界上最大的小城”之称。太浩湖是这里的著名自然景观，位于加利福尼亚州和内华达州边界，是北美最大的高山湖泊，深度位列美国第二。其他著名景点还有美国最孤独的公路——50号公路、大盆地国家公园等。
We left Qingdao with a family of four and had a direct flight to Las Vegas with a connecting flight in Beijing. After resting in Las Vegas for one night, we started our trip to the Antelope Canyon.
During the Christmas holidays, our family drove around the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas, visiting several attractions and national parks along the way, and had an unforgettable Christmas in Las Vegas.
I spared a big circle just to see Horseshoe Bay and Antelope Canyon, and by the way, I saw Lake Powell, which at least completed something in my mind. After stepping into Arizona and moving forward in time by one hour, I began a journey that I will never forget. Unforgettable because there were surprises and touches along the way.
Las Vegas is relatively close to the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon, said to be close, in fact, the drive will take five or six hours to get to! But since we came to Las Vegas, it is still a bit regretful not to go, so I signed up for a two-day tour!
We actually took only 2 days to go from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bay and back to Las Vegas. When we arrived in Las Vegas, it was already evening, because we had been here before, so we didn’t watch the show and eat buffet, we strolled around Las Vegas Strip and went to have dinner.
Next trip, Peggy, the location of Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bay. The two sites are very close to each other, about 15 minutes drive. The only attraction that requires a fee is Antelope Canyon, because it belongs to the Indians, not the U.S. National Park, each person needs to join a group for 40 yuan (must be enrolled in a group to enter the Antelope Canyon, private cars are not allowed to enter da) according to their own online reservation time.
This day was the most anticipated of the whole trip, better than Yellowstone! Fortunately, both Horseshoe Bay and Antelope Canyon are located 10 minutes away from each other in the small town of Page.
During spring break, I had nothing to do, so I asked my school friends to go out and have fun. After considering the places I’ve been and the places they’ve been, I chose to go to the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bay and Lake Powell from Las Vegas.
A promise, a trip, a reunion. I promised amy that I would go to America to play with her before I turned 30, and finally on my 28th birthday, I saved up enough money to go to America, so I took my mom along for the trip ~
How to say it, our trip to the western United States may not be the same as most people’s route, Antelope Canyon I will certainly not miss, but time is very limited, so the route is not so perfect, it may seem to be more around. But these are not important. The important thing is that LK and I have not been together for such a long time since we separated in high school, and we are really happy.
