Dozens (or hundreds) of movies have been set among these speacial rocks in the Navaho Nation. Day 4 - Williams to Kayenta One of the big highlight: visitng the sotuh rim of the Gran Canyon is such an experience! The wide landscape that we face at Mather Point and Desert View is simply astonishing!

Day 3 - Lake Havasu to Williams Today is Route 66 the queen of our highlights! First we ride to Oatman, a little town became famous during the Gold Rush.

They had noting much to do, except having fun on themselves, and as a results today there are looots of baby donkeys around town!
