You can read part 1 here.

So yea. The Grand Canyon. Aptly named because it’s grand as fuck. The western rim is part of the Hualapai Indian Reservation. The Hualapai can price gouge with the best of them, so bring your wallet and your sense of humor. Three diet cokes cost me $21, which means even the Casinos are cheaper. Tour tickets are something like $75 dollars each. And this doesn’t include any of the goofy extras available. Like helicopter rides, or zip slides, or the “skywalk”, a glass bridge that extends 70 feet over the canyon, giving you a clear view of the 4000 foot drop. You are not allowed to bring your phone with you on said “skywalk”, to ensure that you buy the wildly overpriced pictures from the “official” photographer.

We had no interest in this thing. Just looking at it pissed me off. It was like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa.
