Peach Springs is at an elevation of about 4500 feet above sea level; Laughlin, Nevada is 504 feet! Downhill, through Haulapai land, and never looking back on our dismissed rafting trip on the Colorado River…. ... We were so very thankful we didn’t keep our original plans…temps in Laughlin, Nevada were in the 70’s, while the Grand Canyon was getting its’ first snowfall!

In 1966, Laughlin, Nevada (named after Don) was a vision of one person who renovated the old motel, added more and newer slot machines, a few gaming tables, and a restaurant which sold “all you can eat” chicken dinners for 98 cents. ...
