Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is truly one of God's masterpieces. It is breathtaking. It didnot look real to me it looked like a lot of the photo's you see.

It was established as a National Park in 1919.It is 277 river miles long and an average of 10 miles wide
and almost a mile deep.There are many ways to see the canyon and much more time is needed than
we had.
A view from grandson Brandon. They have a paved walkway so that you can take a nice walk
around the rim of the canyon but also places you can get a little closer to the edge.

They have trailheads for hiking ranging from easy to very difficult. The high elevation can make any
hike exhausting.Hiking, camping, hotels are available near the canyon.

There are two rims North and South only 10 miles apart as the crow flies but over 200 by road.
So you truly would need some time to see and experience all the canyon has to offer.

A definite revisit if the opportunity comes again.
Awesome!!!

Until next time'
