After our day long ride we had one more stretch of driving before finally reaching Las Vegas. All clubbers knew something about our final destination, but little about our brief detour. The glee club stopped at Zion National Park, once a home to Native American peoples.
Zion boasts miles of steep canyons, expansive, but biologically diverse, deserts and countless hiking and climbing trails. Clubbers were allowed to choose the trails, which they were most comfortable, with only a few making it to the top of the most dangerous (man made) trail the park offers. After well spent hours everyone was ready for their afternoon nap and a little more bus time, having in mind that the next stop is Vegas!
That very same day, after arriving in Sin City, the glee club had their second concert in a church right off of Tropicana Avenue. This, in contrast to Denver, was a joint concert with the City of Lights Barbershop Chorus. It was a truly unique experience for these two types of music to share a stage and getting the opportunity to finish the concert together with a wonderful joint barbershoppy song.
The concert had ended with a blast, our gracious host Dave Dannemiller (who has an incredible voice) hosted a quite glee club friendly party and everyone, exhausted, fell a sleep immediately after arriving to their home stay. It was a full day and we all understood that energy was needed for the next one, a day entirely free in Las Vegas, with a hotel right on the strip (oh, and Mother's Day too, of course).
