Hualapai Tribe Provides Great Fun & Adventure at Grand Canyon West

Whew! Haven't been here on my Blog for quite a few days, but there's still been a lot going on! I had a blast with my niece, Brandi, mid-October enjoying the Hualapai Tribe's helicopter ride over the West Grand Canyon, then a ride on a pontoon boat on the Colorado River. 


We also walked on the Skywalk in the background. Really cool, and kind of scary! :) I have to admit I held on tight to the rail the whole time. Just a little acrophobia going on there!

It was quite a climb down to the Colorado River, but so exciting! Loved, loved, loved it!


Just couldn't beat the beautiful view of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon West!
The Hualapai Tribe is doing a GREAT JOB with tourism.



YOU, TOO, CAN DO THIS! CHECK IT OUT!

Here is the answer to the last Verde Valley Trivia Question:
Q. In the 1920s, the Tavacsi Family bought the Shea ranch and turned it into what?
A: The Clarkdale Dairy

Did you Know?

The Cottonwood Ditch in its earliest days had a wooden water wheel to lift the water from the ditch to higher ground.  The clanking of the iron buckets as it turned appeared louder at night when all was quiet and was described by old timer, Don Williard, as, “…a strange sort of music to go to sleep by.”
