Grand Canyon

every few months i take a road trip with some close friends and we just take a day to drive out to arizona and go to the grand canyon. i would say that it is my place of sanctuary. :)

It’s amazing.

This place is definitely worth visiting. It’s impossible to describe all the emotions, feelings which you will get during travel to Canyon.

My husband and I hiked 1.5 miles down the bright angel trail. It wasn’t too hard going down, but coming back up was very difficult. Bring a lot of water! We were so hot and sore afterward.

I visited the Grand Canyon when I was 8. I loved it then, but am pretty sure that I would appreciate it even more as an adult. Supposedly, when my parents asked me what I thought at age 8, I said, “It’s quiet.”

It is so large and beautiful, I would like to simply look out at it and take it all in.

I would also love to stay in a camping resort there in the park, and do some hiking.

Take a helicopter ride over the canyon – get that jaw-dropping aerial view.

The Grand Canyon is best to see at sunrise!!

what i want to do when i get there is nothing except look. i can’t wait to see every color and texture and shadow. and i know that no camera i might have by then will be worthy but still…

i think maybe we’re going for my birthday this year. i’m crossing my fingers!

If you go – and you SHOULD, it’ll change your perspective on everything, it’s one of the most beautiful sights in the world – you need to take a helicopter ride out over the canyon. You get to see it much better than if you just stand on the side, and you get some of the greatest pictures. GO - don’t wait any longer! Take a friend, or go yourself, but be sure to see a sunrise over the canyon! I live in Georgia, and everything there is so different – I fell in love. Now I’m counting the days til I can go back. It’ll change your life!

This is not why, but because I wrote this and told some friends – we actually started making plans to go during the school holidays at the end of April. I book a hotel for three days in the canyon – and NOW will have to add Las Vegas to my list – since we will fly there and drive – may even see Hoover Dam… so you see there is value to saying it out loud.
