The Grand Canyon is one of the Earth’s most powerful and inspiring landscapes. Its story tells of geologic processes played out over unimaginable time spans as a unique combination of size, color and dazzling erosional forms: 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles wide and a mile deep. Its rugged landscape hosts a fascinating variety of plant and animal communities, from the desert next to the Colorado River deep in the canyon to montane forests atop its North Rim.
Last March 5, we had the opportunity to visit and stay overnight at the Grand Canyon National Park in the Arizona state. We were charged $25 for a seven day single visit vehicle pass and that’s regardless of the passengers in the vehicle (although I forgot if there was a limit on the number of passengers).
It was already past 5 o’clock in the afternoon when we arrived in the Grand Canyon National Park. After driving around to orient ourselves with the place, we finally found a spot to view the magnificent landscape just in time to see how wonderful it looks at sunset.
I’m afraid of heights (LOL) but with the prodding and insistence of my wonderful and supportive hubby, I was able go down some of the trails and pose near the edge of the rim.
At the back of that white rock is a very very very steep slope. Can you notice how tense I looked?
Promise to share more pics soon! Have a great weekend everyone.
Breath taking!
it is indeed breathtaking. thanks for dropping by.
oh my!! i’m also afraid of heights so i can imagine how scared or tense you were. LOL. but, yeah, the view is just amazing. i hope i can see the grand canyon myself… adding it to my bucket list. hehehe.
yeah, you have to include it in your bucket list mhel. hope that you’ll be able to visit it too. regards!

nagfreeze na ang mga ants sis. hehehe. yeah, we were able to visit a lot of other sites and i’m going to share our pics here soon.
Grand Canyon is one of the must-see tourist spots in the USA and it’s great that you have the chance to visit that place and see its spectacular view. I recommend you to visit Niagara Falls too esp. the Buffalo, NY side. I t will take your breath away. However, it will be very , very cold at this time so it’s better to visit it on June to August.
the weather’s not good in the eastern part of the country on this time of the year and we might have to postpone going there. i can’t take too much cold, guess it needs more time to get accustomed to it.
Yeah, the Grand Canyon is indeed one of the America’s top attractions and the pics are evidence as to why. I’m glad you got the opportunity to see it as well.
Looking forward to more pics from you!
we’re glad to be able to visit it too. will post more pics soon david. regards!
