Hello All,

I'll be travelling the next 10 days or so across the Great West! I've never been, so I'm looking for some suggestions.

Here's the bare bones itinerary:

Friday through Sunday - Vegas for a Bachelor Party.

Monday through Friday - drive to Denver, CO for another Bachelor party.

My question is what I should do in those five intermediary days?

My travelling companion (younger than 79, by the way - so don't feel restricted in your suggestions) is a college buddy of mine. We're both pretty active as well, so things that require a hike aren't unwelcome. We'er thinking about seeing the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, maybe Mesa Verde. Then, it's all up in the air.

So, for those of you who live out there, or who haev been - what do I simply have to see, what should I avoid, etc.

Thanks!
