You’ve got to see the Grand Canyon

Went for the first time. I have traveled all over the US and some parts of the world and never seen anything like it. It is another planet. If you are driving and going on a week end day you might want to take the back road in - highway 89 (instead of 180). There could be a very long line of cars at the front entrance - it was at least a mile or two long when we were there. Highway 89 also has its own sights including several national parks, Navajo reservation/shops and a few excellent views of the little colorado river canyon. It took us about 2 days to get good looks at the canyon - stopping at all the points we could. Also suggest the bus rides to the south rim that run every 15 minutes - makes it very convienent to hike or stroll along the rim and you can only get to that part of the park using the busses. We did a jeep tour and saw a little of the backcountry and also suggest doing the IMAX theatre at the parks entrance. Next time we will do some hiking and maybe venture down into the canyon.
