On 8th of October, we finally reached our last US destination - Miami. :) This amazing city is mostly known for its hot tropical weather, lively nightlife, Caribbean-style white sand beaches, numerous bays, rivers and canals, Cuban culture, Mojitos and good-looking tanned people. :) But Miami is so much more than that.

After an amazing two-day roller coaster in Las Vegas, we decided to rent a car to go explore the stunning wonders of Arizona.

There are lots of amazing national parks, canyons and natural monuments relatively near Las Vegas - there is the Death Valley National Park, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Valley of Fire State Park, Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, Vermilion Cliffs National...
