Havasu Falls: Home to Peach Springs- Part 1

2 weeks ago, Chris and I spent the evening with the kids in the field. Spring and Fall are the best times on the property- the weather is perfect and hours are spent each afternoon. We were getting ready to leave on a 4 day adventure trip!


We set out super early Friday morning, and met up with 21 in total. The ride down was gorgeous through Hope Valley, then desert pretty through Nevada. We were stopped twice for 30 minutes each in roadwork.


 Why not use traffic time for documenting the trip!?
 These two work together every day, and mostly enjoy it!
 Desert stretches.


We made it to Vegas around 6pm. Chris and I were set on having a nice and yummy dinner, and a small group of us split off and made it into Spago. We had a wonderful time, discussing world travel, and adventures, all while enjoying delicious wine and food.
Tired but happy. The usual.

Trevor was our 3rd wheel which was actually fun!
We were in and out in 2.5 hours, around 830pm. We needed to get to our Motel by midnight, and it was still about 3 hours from Vegas. 2 nights later, the Vegas mass shooting happened... :(
We rolled up around 1130pm, and our Motel was straight outta the 1950's/60's. We showered and hit the pillow hard.

415 came in the blink of an eye. Chris woke up at 3 to pee and he was so excited we had another hour of sleep, ha!
If we had been at our Motel at all during the day, we would have seen an awesome also oldish yet charismatic dinosaur mini golf park.
I had Chris stop so I could take these photos as our group departed the Motel, off to the Trailhead on the Havasupi Indian reservation.
There was a bunch of route 66/ radiator springs decor. It was really a quirky place where we spent about 5 hours!

The drive from the motel to the trailhead was about 90 minutes, down a mostly straight road. When we rolled up it was very chilly, even though we knew we would warm up quickly.
