I visited the Grand Canyon a couple of years ago while on vacation in the USA. We camped at the Grand Canyon for a couple of days giving us to time to really explore this vast wonder. It is absolutely breathtaking. Until you stand at the edge, you really don’t have any... (more...)
I loved the Grand Canyon. It had such a surreal feeling about it as the rocky terrain provided a rough yet gorgeous concept of beauty. Especially coming from a Mid-West girl. The landscape provided an incredible backdrop as the sun began to set in the evenings. The light... (more...)
We got there at 4 in the afternoon, so we only had 2 hours to view and hang out at the park. We were there just to see it, take pictures, and head back to Las Vegas. Once you enter the park, the first viewpoint is the Desert View. It had a very nice view with a lookout tower.... (more...)
