Random videos...


This is taken when we went to Hopi point to watch sunset . The wind is super strong that time ... can blow people away , no kidding ~



This is the inside of El tovar hotel. One of the most expensive hotel in Grand canyon. It is listed as USA's historical protected building. This is the Presidential suite . I took the video when i was inspecting the room after the guest room attendent cleaned it. I basically just check if all the supplies , all the amendities are properly placed in the room. This luxurious suite cost 450++ USD per person per night.




Wild goat seen at hopi point. It is very common to see wild life in grand canyon . Mostly are deer and elks . This is one cute juvenile goat(I believe?) . It keeps moving at my direction ... quite scary lor ... Since there are so many injury cases happened before. ANyway it looks tame .




This is the bright angel trail , which i ascended from the bottom of the river. This is taken from the grand canyon village at the top . I follow the trail down to the furthest point- plateau point. it is about 4 miles(6-7 KM) from the top to plateau point. After the point , we have to actually walk down another 4 miles to reach the river. The trail is not visible from the top after plateau point.






sunset. The actual setting wont last more than 3 minutes. In just 3 minutes time , the sky will change colour rapidly , so as the canyon. Actually the best condition to watch sunset is when there are many clouds. When they are clouds around , the clouds will add more colour and complexity to the overall view. When i took this video i actually sat alone in one corner far from tourist for 1 hour .. half hour before setting and half hour after setting. Well, i do watch sunset whenever i got chance( not working lor ) .



This is taken while in grand canyon railway.... the operator led us to the platform at the back of the train for awhile.





I watch sunset at different viewpoint in the canyon ... this place is very nice.


that's all folks.
