Waking up early this morning was definitely worth it. Our tour guide Gia made us feel comforted while also delivering facts with a little humour. The driver Ita was able to make us the first bus to arrive at the Grand Canyon west, as well as the Hoover Dam. Gia said at the start that the tour was blocked until 5:30pm, but throughout the day, no one was ever late to any of the departure times, allowing us to get back to our hotels over an hour early! The facts that Gia laid out about Guano Point, The Hoover Dam, Lake Meade, and Boulder City helped to ground this experience for me. Thanks Gia and Ita for making this trip memorable!
