you said you were coming to Orlando big tip for getting around in Orlando is international dr is the main road you can get to just about everything from this road like universal, sea world,all kinds of restaurants, icon park, the outlet mall, basspro,just to name a few things

[@chrispruett81]

I am 43 years old.. Born and raised in Arizona... Adam... I have lived only 2 hours away from the Grand Canyon my entire 43 years! lol.. It's old news for me.. but.. it's reactions like yours that make me smile and make me realize just how big of a deal it really is! Guess I was spoiled! lol It really is very Beautiful and UNREAL!!

[@MoreAdamCouser]

Love this Chris, thank you!

[@kenslaughter00]

I've been to Flagstaff several times. What had me gobsmacked is, I met people who were 50, 60 years old and lived in Flagstaff their whole lives, and had never been to the Grand Canyon. Then again, most of my life I lived an hour away fro Mammoth Cave and I've never been there. So, yeah. But I've been to the Grand Canyon nine times. All around it. You can stand there on the rim, look at it, and it still doesn't look real.

[@aprilnewsome1932]

​@@kenslaughter00, I'm from Indiana and been to the Mammoth on vacation. It's defiantly worth seeing. Crazy you never been there.

[@kenslaughter00]

@@aprilnewsome1932 - I've been to the Corvette Museum, tho. LOL

[@marieclaudeb.2366]

I went up there by the train ride from the town of Williams. Fun ride, we were attacked by desperados, literally racing their horses next to the train and stopping it. They boarded, pulled out instruments and passed the hat around as they sang. The canyon itself it totally jaw dropping.. it’s 21 km of view across the other side

[@briankgarland]

The Colorado river is at the bottom. Fantastic white water rafting.

[@livinglife8333]

True but it’s aggressive 😂

[@syx3s]

keep in mind when you see images like this of the grand canyon, that sucker is almost 300 miles long.

[@sandikorevaar4743]

And a river took thousands of years to wear away the canyon you see now.

[@SwimCoach8]

The south rim of the Canyon, where this couple was, is just over four hours from Las Vegas. If you arrive at sunrise or near sunset, the crowds either haven't arrived or have left for the day. Watching the colors change as the sun rises and sets is breath taking. We got incredible photos during both. We visited for three days.

[@0529mpb]

I don't understand why you would go to the crowded South Rim Lodge as a tourist. The North Rim is much nicer and only a little over 2 hours from Vegas.

[@SwimCoach8]

@@0529mpb Google maps list the north rim as 4.5 hours from Vegas. Also he said he was going to Vegas in April. The North rim doesn't usually open, after the winter months, till the first or second week of May. Sometimes a bit later.

[@SwimCoach8]

@@0529mpb Google maps has the north rim at 4hours 30 minutes. He's going in April, the North Rim won't be opened in April. Last year it was the second or third week of May. The South Rim still had a small amount of snow on the ground the last week of April/first week of May.

[@alanegan2447]

Zion national park is about 2 hrs from Vegas....its very beautiful also....definitely worth visiting

[@philipstasyszen918]

This!

[@MrRicvera]

No, there's not just bedrock at the bottom, plenty of wildlife. There is actually a village called Supai, Arizona at the bottom, you can only get there by foot or helicopter. It's the only place in the US where the mail gets delivered by mule.

[@thedeviouspanda]

They also have the polling equipment hiked in and flown in for elections.

[@bitfenix90]

I've never met any first-time visitor that isn't blown away. For at least 70 years, American school kids grow up with movies and TV shows showing the Grand Canyon. IT IS MORE AWESOME than any TV screen or photo can depict.

[@DavidDunn-breakinbadretrddad]

You should research the size comparison between the UK and the Grand Canyon... Lots of people can't understand how large the USA is.... EVERY type of climate- from Arctic to Desert, rain forest or swamp or mountains or plains- all in one country

[@sjldfilms5126]

We truly do live in an incredible place. So diverse in land and people.

[@jj-bv3ui]

@@sjldfilms5126 what a beautiful way to put it. I think diversity and the melting pot that is America brings me pride, knowing out of many we are all one.

[@Cody38Super]

Look, some people don't like it because all they see is a big hole in the ground. They don't see any "wild life", it's everywhere. Also, the canyon is like 270 miles long and miles and miles wide in some places.

[@sandikorevaar4743]

They should stay home.

[@0529mpb]

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is only about 2 hours from Vegas. The North Rim Lodge is about 2 hours and 15 minutes from Vegas. April is tough for the North Rim Lodge because the road is usually snowed in and closed. They plow the roads on the South Rim, so it is open all year long. The Canyon is really long, 400 km. There are viewpoints and trailheads all along the North and South rims.

[@billolsen4360]

The canyon looks even better in snow.

[@MsBrowntoad]

The Grand Canyon is 250 miles or 4 hours drive from Las Vegas.

[@jacqueline1099]

You have absolutely got to watch videos on the bottom of the Grand Canyon... Amazing waterfalls trails

[@tikinut3458]

You need to visit the North rim of the Grand Canyon. It is only open from Mid May to Early October due to the fact that snow makes the road impassable. On a side note, my son and I did a 20 mile hike along the South rim trail of the Grand Canyon.

[@jefferoni1984]

As beautiful as it looks on video, it still doesn’t convey that feeling you get the first time you walk up to it and take it in. It really takes your breath away.

[@judymurry2771]

You can ride mules to the bottom and spend the night and ride them back up in the morning. The Colorado river runs through the bottom and you can also go rafting

[@nicleep4256]

I grew up in the western US and hadn't seen the Grand Canyon until about six years ago (in my 40's now). I always was like, whatever, it is a big hole in the ground, who cares... It is absolutely amazing and an emotional experience like you mentioned. Pictures and Videos cannot do it justice, it is an amazing thing to see and I highly recommend it. This is coming from someone who never cared until I was there.

[@doobiedave9686]

Dude you ended the video before the part where they went to the Horseshoe Bend overlook which shows the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon, which is around 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) deep. ✌️

[@hannah3250]

The Grand Canyon is estimated at be the size of the state of Rhode Island and it’s deepest point is 6000ft. I hope they visit Page, Williams, Flagstaff, Sedona, Bisbee, Tuscon and Thombstone all in AZ. There’s so many special places in AZ… all the 4 corner states! If you are ever coming to Georgia let me know! I can tell you some amazing places, especially if you love to hike and see waterfalls… we have around 700 in our state. Don’t come in the summer! I highly recommend the fall/Autumn. @moreadamcouser

[@laguzl]

We drove my daughter from California to New Jersey, where she is going to college. One of the stops was Grand Canyon, which was on her bucket list. It's beautiful and the colors I kept thinking how is this real. I walked the big tree trail at Sequoia last weekend and saw General Sherman for the first time. We are doing our third cross-country trip using Route 66 from California to Chicago. I'd rather drive because we, or at least I forget, just how beautiful this country is.

[@lonewolfx499]

My grandparents live in Peoria, AZ during the winter, and my dad and I occasionally fly out there for spring break. We drove to a small town (and I mean smaaaallll town) called Williams, where visitors catch the train to the Grand Canyon. We did a bus tour where we only got about 5-10 minutes for each location. Not the most extensive visit, but it is absolutely gorgeous. It is deceivingly freezing since you're at a high elevation; it even snowed for a minute while we were there.

[@citisoccer]

Grand Canyon when you go to Vegas, and some Utah parks. It's cliché, but Angel's Landing really is just breathtaking. And you earn the view.

[@billolsen4360]

And you'll want to see some of New Mexico as well. Maybe not on your trip this year, but it's worth a week to see it.

[@WolfLove89]

I got the opportunity when I was younger to hike down into it. 7 miles down there is a Havasupai (Native American) village, and another 3 miles there is the camp grounds. From there were 4 waterfalls, I only saw two, because I was too scared to go to the other two. It was beautiful and I had so much fun down there.

[@jaimebaranczyk4332]

Just seeing your reaction and the other couple made me cry lol. This is why it’s called Gods Country!!! I’m surprised when people in Europe put us down because we don’t visit Europe. But why? When we have so much to see and do here.

The Grand Canyon, was formed partially from erosion over millions of years, by the Colorado river. Peace!

[@rumblystarfish8411]

I went there in 2003, and it was breathtaking. I recomend everyone see it in person at least once. Also havasupai falls looks super cool, its a native american reservation at the bottom of the canyon you can stay at. epic

[@jasonbromano]

I went to the grand canyon back in 2000 and it was one of the most breathtaking things I've ever witnessed. Nothing in a video or picture can prepare you for how utterly big it is. You're going to love it. For the Vegas trip, might I suggest flying into Phoenix and then driving to Vegas? The Grand Canyon is on the way as is Hoover Dam which is also pretty cool. For Orlando, there is a place called Gatorland Zoo that is just as the name suggests a zoo for alligators - over 2000 of them! You might find that interesting since you've been watching some American animal videos and gators are frequently listed. It's pretty incredible to see so many of them in person!

[@billolsen4360]

For stores, I recommend Bass Pro Shop It's 9 hours to drive from Los Angeles to Grand Canyon. When my mom's pen pal from Accrington, Lancashire visited the US the first time, she was impressed with our straight roads and said, "The Romans must have been here." Hikes from the rim down to the deepest point & back could take about 12 hours down and up when you're taking pictures and resting. You can also do burro rides, guided tours down there. There's an Indian Reservation in one section of the canyon with one hotel....no motor cars or even a place to drive on in and out. Daily mail service from a letter carrier who rides a burro down and back from Monday to Friday.

[@gnarxy]

backpacked inside the grand canyon to Havasu and camped there for 4 nights. one of the best hikes ever

[@mimiv3088]

The bottom of the Grand Canyon is full of life. The Colorado River carved this over millions of years. And where there's water there's life. It's an absolute must to take a trip to the river and go rafting. If not rafting then hiking. Looking from the top is amazing but going to the bottom is the experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend it if you have the time. Day tripping is a look from the top and shorter hikes around the rims. It's vast. It's beautiful. And the United States has so much more to see than just the Canyon. You will be awestruck with every National Park you can fit in your trip. Howdy y'all from the Great Lone Star State of Texas 🤠🇺🇸

[@AndrewA0927]

If you’re in Vegas you can easily go to the Grand Canyon. They even have helicopter tours that take off from Vegas. I’ve been as a kid/teen and adult and it never gets old seeing it. You could also check out the Hoover Dam that’s right there and Area 51 😂 if you want. Tons to do in and around Vegas. When your in Vegas go to Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres. Amazing food. I got tons of places in Vegas for food if you want a list.

[@mmmerrick]

I love the grand canyon.

[@MoeRon-ry2zr]

I was 8 in '72 when I visited. It's still a vivid memory all these years later.

[@jobee1]

I grew up in Arizona from 12 years old to 24 , I’ve been to the Grand Canyon several times but my favorite is in the winter because less people visit and it’s beautiful in the snow but even more beautiful is Sedona’s red rock country and of course Antelope canyon.

[@DonnaRe4]

The length of a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon depends on the trail you take and the rim you start from: South Rim The South Kaibab Trail is 6.8 miles to Bright Angel Campground, and the Bright Angel Trail is 9.3 miles. Most hikers take 4-5 hours to reach the campground on either trail. The hike down to the river from the South Rim can take about 5 hours, and the hike back up can take about 15 hours. Trails from the South Rim are usually shorter, steeper, and more crowded than trails from the North Rim. North Rim The North Kaibab Trail descends 14.3 miles and 6,000 feet to the river. The descent can take closer to 8 hours, and the hike back up can take 20+ hours depending on fitness. Trails from the North Rim are longer, more circuitous, and less maintained than trails from the South Rim.

[@uraniumcranium]

The Colorado River runs through the bottom of the Canyon as is flows through to the Gulf of California off of Baja and was very instrumental is forming the Canyon (along with wind, precipitation, and other natural elements).

[@markodishohaha]

I live two hours from the Grand Canyon and I visit twice a year. I am impressed every time I go, is absolutely beautiful. You wouldn’t believe it.

[@canvasjockey4628]

I live in southern Arizona (the Grand Canyon state). I love where I live, it's always amazing. I do "pine" for grass and trees sometimes... but not enough to leave! The Grand Canyon is almost indescribable, videos and photos just don't do it justice. If you'll be in Vegas you'll only be about a 4 hours drive away from the Grand Canyon, just sayin'. At the bottom of the canyon is the Colorado River. When you go to Vegas, keep in mind when your there the need to drink a LOT of water. The dry climate will sneak up on you SO fast, you don't even realize it until it's a problem. Certainly if you do any hiking in the Vegas area or surrounding desert, bring way more water than you think you'll need. It's surprisingly common to have tourists unfamiliar with the arid climate need to be rescued because of dehydration.

[@Armyaunt73]

My brother moved to Arizona, so when I went to visit him we went to the Grand Canyon. It is spectacular

[@ebooboo6784]

Pictures and videos don't do it justice. It's spectacular in person.

[@slabriprock5329]

Fun Fact: Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina(it's big) is free by law due to an agreement made when the park was established. A great book is The Man Who Walked Through Time about making the first backpacking trip the length of the canyon INSIDE it. In Vegas I recommend the Penn and Teller show, for sure the Blue Man Group show,and if you like The Beatles even a little bit,Love.

[@americansmark]

It's so deep that in the northern end of the Canyon, it snows up due to wind currents. The gusts are so strong in the gorge that the snow can't fall and gets lifted up.

[@colleenmonfross4283]

At the bottom of the canyon is the Colorado River, which carved the canyon over millions of years. In some locations there are actually white sand beaches with turquoise water. There are also white water rapids.

[@RebeccaMidyette]

When you go to Vegas you will only be a couple of hours away from the Grand Canyon. Well worth the visit!

[@user-cl6zf9zq6w]

If you go clear down to the bottom of the canyon, you can even get a ice cream cone. It is 7 miles to the bottom of the grand canyon. Some walk that, others ride horses or mules that you can rent on a guided tour. There are so many great sights to see here in America, we have the Devils Tower. You and your little family need to come for a month and look around 😊

[@dcbs8691]

Yes! The Grand Canyon is beautiful. Did a helicopter tour through it and then a boat ride on the Colorado river. For me it was a once in a lifetime experience. Just beautiful!!

[@chocolatediamond32]

I finally saw the Grand Canyon in person for the first time last month for my birthday. It was breathtaking. There was no entrance fee the day we went as it was the 1st day of the summer season.

[@theresan3736]

If you come to Arizona and go to the Grand Canyon you should book one of the helicopter rides. It’s amazing!

[@lynnsoeth5301]

We went in March and at that time of year there aren't too many people. But in the space of an hour we had sun,rain, sleet, hail and snow. Fantastic!

[@isaacvincent8443]

I've been to the Grand Canyon a couple of times and it really lives up to the name. There is a river that runs at the bottom, but to hike down that far takes a few hours for most People... I personally would recommend renting a Mule, but that's just me. Not many people know this, but deep down in the Canyon, a tribe of Indians makes it their home. They hunt and gather for most of their food to this day, as it takes so long (even by boat) to get supplies from the outside world. If you ever travel to see it, I would suggest renting a cabin or room at one of the lodges and taking a few days to really soak it all in.

[@bonniejohnstone]

Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon is 130 miles. At the bottom is the Colorado River. I’m 76 and first saw the Grand Canyon at sunrise when I was 15 (1963). I now live in beautiful Colorado close to Rocky Mountain National Park.

[@blairkimberlin3447]

I used to live in Flagstaff and took geology classes where we would go to the Grand Canyon for class, it was awesome but got kinda routine after a while. watching storms as they moved across the Canyon is still one of my favorite things to do. we used to go camping on the North Rim all the time when wev lived in Vegas, went to bed one night and woke up to 7 inches of snow the next morning, crazy. while the Grand Canyon is amazing IMO nothing beats Havasupai Falls

[@mlong1958]

When you go to the Grand Canyon and look down at the Colorado River, your mind sees all of the "bushes" lining the river. In fact, those are full grown trees. The sheer magnitude of the size can't be appreciated from a KZbin video. You "might" get some kind of sense of the scale in an IMAX theater, but nothing will compare to actually seeing it. The average depth of the Grand Canyon is about 4000 feet and is 6000 feet depth at its deepest. It is 277 miles long.

[@johnnynada7078]

Pro tip: Most chain gas stations and grocery stores have member cards that are attached to a phone number for discount prices. When traveling, use the number from Tommy 2 Tone's song 'Jenny' with the area code you are in as the alternate ID. Works every time.

[@melrest3453]

I can’t wait to visit one day! Just watching these videos makes me cry. I can’t imagine how I will feel when I see it for real!

[@lindah5910]

The Colorado River was once a HUGE raging river to carve the river bed that makes up the Grand Canyon like that. Have been. It's lovely. It's also so big it can be seen from space. Great deal on that National Parks visitor's pass card. I now live near Yosemite in California. It is about a 1.5 hour drive mainly because it gets to those windy Sierra Nevada roadways about halfway there.

[@stinkwrinkle8219]

Btw I'm an OTR (over the road, meaning I do long hauls across the whole US) trucker so I've seen more of the country than most US citizens. Taking breaks to hike mountains, hot air balloon rides in New Mexico, seeing historic monuments and museums, anyways I'm meaning to say you GOTTA come and see the place. Just make you're plans realistically close enough for your time to stay before flying home cause, again, the country is huge. ❤

[@stephaniedavidson896]

My parents did a white water rafting trip down the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon years ago. They loved it.

[@Kaylan0713]

The Grand Canyon is only like 4 hours from Las Vegas. So if you leave early enough in the morning you could make it a day trip 😊

[@donrainesoh]

It’s only 2 hours from Vegas. West rim skywalk.

[@lavenderandwine]

I've lived in Arizona for about 7 years and have yet to see the Grand Canyon. I will say, though, my roommate who is born and raised in Arizona took me on a scenic drive once and it was cool watching the land go from desert to plains to mountains/forest. There may be a lot of things I despise about my country, but the land itself is so beautiful and diverse.

[@Kinf00]

My dad and I took a trip to Vegas a few years back and we rented a convertible car and drove to the Grand Canyon. If I recall it was about a 6 hour drive in each direction, and we were there for like 30 minutes. It was cool for sure, but we just took a few photos and drove back. A Helicopter tour from Vegas would be way cooler. The Hoover Damn was incredible though. Great stop along the way.

[@sharona256]

It really is overwhelming. You have to see it while you're in Vegas

[@ms.y.fromphilly882]

The video wasn't over, they also went to Horseshoe Canyon.

[@emefrench8984]

I definitely recommend a visit to the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada. I would highly recommend adding Utah to your itinerary as they are in the same region. If you love nature and unimaginable sights these are states to visit. So much to see and do especially if you enjoy the outdoors. You will go home with a treasure trove of magnificent photos/videos and memories to last a lifetime. There is so much more to see in these three states. Rent a car, the states are right next to each other!!

[@karenmitting7181]

Dude, there’s an incredible river (Colorado River) that runs through the bottom of the Grand Canyon. In fact it is water erosion over millennia that has created the Grand Canyon. Hope you get there one day. It’s possible to visit from Las Vegas if you are keen.

[@MikasaAckermann831]

As someone that recently went to the grand canyon. You don't understand the scale until you are really there. I remember seeing it in the distance and not comprehening what i was looking at because it was so huge. Also its like a 2-3 hour drive from Vegas

[@sherricarrievioletalpha448]

Grand canyon was formed in a prior ice age from glaciers moving across the countryside and also rivers and stream erosion from the glaciers melting

[@BdManus]

The Grand Canyon is very beautiful. I hiked from the south rim all the way down and across to the Colorado River. Great video.

[@thedeviouspanda]

It's crazy to be standing on the edge of the canyon and see tiny microscopic specks in lower parts of the canyon that you can tell are people. The scale is truly hard to comprehend even when you're standing right in front of it. I highly recommend it. From an Arizona native, if you are thinking of hiking down inside the canyon be aware that it gets very hot inside the canyon. People think because it's in northern Arizona it will be cool, but it can get up to 100 degrees down there. People who aren't acclimated to the heat are vulnerable to making silly decisions because they just lack the knowledge that's common to us. Listen to the park rangers, they are trying to avoid having to get your body hoisted out of there later.

[@jaysverrisson1536]

Except for the first week of the month (spring break), April is a pretty good time to visit the Grand Canyon--less crowded. For future trips, I'd also suggest you put Crater Lake, Oregon and a drive to the summit of Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii on your bucket list of other-worldly American scenic destinations.

[@karenjayne24]

The Grand Canyon looks amazing in photos and videos but it doesn't even scratch the surface in how overwhelmingly beautiful it is. I took a tour from las vegas and it included taking a 12 seat plane down inside of the canyon. This tour also included the Mohave Dessert and the Hoover Dam. On another trip to Vegas I went to Bryce National Park and into Utah. Even within Las Vegas is another beautiful place called Red Rock Canyon. It is literally very close to The Strip in Vegas. My job was so amazing as I traveled a lot in and out of the US. I always tried to stay in my location to see the place and learn about the local culture. I loved every minute of it.

The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long; 18 miles at it's widest; and 4,000 feet deep or 1219.2 meters. You should got to Pinball Hall of Fame, Lake Mead, Grand Canyon, Hoover dam, Sky walk over The Grand Canyon, and the Mob museum,

[@ZeroTolerance-tk9ce]

I've been there a couple times, it's a breath taking sight. Don't go out on the rocks, an average of 12 people fool around and fall in every year. It's a mile deep in some places. And watch out for rattlesnakes.

I’ve been to the Grand Canyon 5-6 times. I was even lucky enough to raft the Colorado River for 6 days back in 1991.

[@mamaaries]

Hey, Im new to your channel and I just spent the last 2 hours binge watching your videos 😁. I definitely needed some uplifting videos these days, so for that I thank you! If you ever get the opportunity to visit anywhere in the US I would highly recommend Yellowstone National Park. I've been there several times and it never ceases to amaze me as to how beautiful it is. Thank you again!

[@christophercox9311]

The couple in this video only went down 10percent of the way. When i visited in May, the rim had snow, we started at 6am, took us until 3 to dip our feet in the colorado river, and climbed back to the rim by 11pm. We were so entranced with the color changes and the sun light and moon light playing against the canyon walls. So beautiful.

[@karladoesstuff]

At the bottom is the Colorado River, which slowly carved out the canyon.

[@raulcastro925]

I have seen it first hand. It looks like a giant painting that fills all you can see from one side of the horizon to the other, but it is real. No art work could recreate this wonder. God is wonderful.

[@cherihabegger9856]

I hope you get to see all of these places someday. If you are going to Vegas you aren't very far away from the Grand Canyon. Also just to get out of the city and into the desert around Vegas is so special. If you have time to travel across the border into California, Kings Canyon is spectacular with Giant Sequoias.

[@8hockeygoddess]

[@DonnaRe4]

Gas was in the high $1.80/gallon about 3 years ago, currently closed to $4. {Florida} Much more expensive in California. Grand Canyon is amazing! If you ever get the chance, you should visit for sure!

[@azjim2946]

I live about 3.5 hours from the Grand Canyon. When visitors come, they want to see it. There are a number of ways to see it, but tours is a good recommendation because you do not deal with the parking issues, particularly during peak season (summertime). There is even a tour which takes you on a train being pulled by an old fashioned steam locomotive which will "take you back" to the early West days. Once at the Canyon, you will have a bus/coach tour without worrying about parking. You can have lunch included in the same package. Hiking in the desert is diffierent. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ENOUGH WATER, and stay on the trail!!! Every year we hear of visitors who fall from after crossing the railing on the trail, or they do not take enough water and die of dehydration. It is VERY dry here in Arizona. Here in Phoenix during late Spring and early Summer, we get humdity in the single digits. That is really dry. There are other things to see while in the general vicinity, such as Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon. My sister--in-law thought Oak Creek Canyon was more beautiful than the Grand Canyon.

I live about 100 miles from the Grand Canyon. I’ve been there multiple times to the south rim and twice to the north rim.

Oh and since you are going to be in Vegas, you’re actually not that far from the Grand Canyon. There are helicopter tours… but I would recommend just renting a car and making a day trip to drive there and back. It’s only about 250 miles and a 4.5 hour trip. And while our gas (petrol) is high by our standards. It is probably waaaaaay cheaper by comparison to what you pay in Ireland. I’m in California and we have some of the highest gas prices in the country because of regulations. We are currently paying between $4.50-$5.00 a gallon. In other parts of the country it’s anywhere from $1.00-$1.50 cheaper per gallon.

Adam, our gas is $3.79 per gallon. In Orlando, you need to go to Epcot - theme park. There's only one thing i care about in Vegas - the Sphere! It's a music venue. Its the most amazing, incredible music venue ever created. It's worth seeing!

FYI, the drive from LA to the Grand Canyon is 485 miles [780km].

Their stop at horseshoe bend is worth watching

The Grand Canyon is a doable day trip from Las Vegas, it will take the whole day and a car rental.

I could be wrong as I haven't been to Orlando Florida in about 20 years, and things may have changed since then, but I had a blast going to Medieval Times, so I'd recommend checking that out, assuming they're still around. If it's anything like it was back in the day, you go there to eat in a big stadium while watching things like jousting matches and sword fights. Pretty cool, or at least it was when I went. Most of my time was spent at whatever Disney park was there, though, so I don't know of many other places to visit or things to do (especially since, like all things Disney, the parks have really gone down hill over the years).

It's only about a 4.5 - 5 hour drive from the Las Vegas strip to the north rim of the Grand canyon.

[@RevPeterTrabaris]

Yes, that was fun, Adam. I have only been to the Grand Canyon once and it is spectacular. Thanks for your work. Peace

First of all why the Grand Canyon exists is really interesting in my opinion. At the bottom of that canyon is what remains of the Colorado river, though it was once much bigger. The canyon was made over millions and millions of years by erosion from the river. Also, the roads are so good because it's in the desert. Road's deteriorate mostly based of temperatures changing during the seasons and water expanding and contracting as it changes to Ice. The tons of salt we put on the roads in some snowy areas of the country makes it worse. In Chicago where I'm from, the roads don't stay in that condition more than like a year or two max? It's not because they are made poorly, it's just mother nature. If I missed anything please comment!

While in Orlando you should go to the natural springs ! The water is usually around 72 degrees so a little chilly but so beautiful to see

You should definitely visit a Costco/Walmart when you are in the States since you have only seen them in other people's videos. Maybe if you are lucky you will even get to witness the freaks of Walmart too!
