A further business trip in 2008 got me back to Boulder; also this time our hosts took well care of us – and we had an enjoyable weekend in Rocky Mountain NP. Below some impressions.

Yosemite
Our last stop on the trek (before San Francisco) was the Yosemite NP. The first day mostly consisted of driving to Yosemite, passing Mono Lake and the Tioga Pass.
The second day was another hiking day – I did what is probably the most strenuous day hike around – the Halfdome hike, a 17 mile or 27 km hike with an 1 mile or 1600m height gain on the way up and the same number in height loss for the way down – a hard, but really rewarding hike.
After coming back from the hike we joined the group for pizza – our last official tour dinner.
Las Vegas
We arrived in the late afternoon of the 4th in Las Vegas, enough time to get fresh and have a great night out.
We had a late start the next morning, went into town for lunch buffet in the Bellagio – afterwards we had a crazy taxi drive to the Circus Circus for bungy jumping.
The next activity also took us high up – we went on top the Stratosphere tower, afterwards we walked the strip – pure Las Vegas amazement.
The Grand Canyon

From Cowboy Camp we drove to the Grand Canyon. We arrived at our campground some time in the afternoon, enough time left for a plane flight over the canyon – then dinner and into the park to see the sun … Continue reading
