First, an early morning sunrise from the historic railroad trail.
Odd parking style at the IHOP.
Our Hoover Dam guide suggested stopping at Hemenway Park in Boulder City to see the big horn sheep. Apparently, every morning, and sometimes evening, the sheep travel down to lie on the cool grass in this pretty park on the edge of town, only 10 min from the HD.
A 4-hr drive to Scottsdale, then 40 min to Gila Arena for the Coyotes pre-season hockey game. The view from the seats and the beef brisket were both exceptional. Coyotes post a shoot-out win over the Ducks 4-3. The area outside the arena was nice- good party atmosphere.
Winning goal:
We’re staying at the Howard Johnson Inn, in the downtown Scottsdale area. A bit motel-ish, but the room is comfy and sufficiently large. Everything is clean it includes a continental breakfast. So a good deal for about $50US/night.
This morning I took a quick fast-walk to the canal. Lovely area.
I can certainly see the snow-bird attraction here. Wouldn’t mind spending Jan-Mar...
