Even more spectacular were her pictures of the Grand Canyon. How can I describe the Grand Canyon? If I can say one thing about it it's that no matter what you read, no matter what you see, you cannot grasp the magnitude of the Grand Canyon until you see in it person. I was prepared to be underwhelmed, to be disappointed, to find that it didn't live up to the hype. Absolutely not, it is absolutely spectacular. Perhaps that's why it's been so hard to write about. No matter what I say, no matter what I tell you, I cannot describe the feeling you get, standing on it's edge, looking into a 3000 foot crater. I cannot describe the way the light bounces off the walls of the crater, creating a new view every moment of the day. I cannot describe the feeling that we got standing out at Shoshone Point, alone, as the sun set along the horizon. The absolute silence, the feeling that we were part of something completely bigger than ourselves. The absolute submission to nature. I'll provide the pictures, but until you go there and see if for yourself you'll never understand.
I will never be able to acurately describe how blue the sky was the day I first saw the Grand Canyon
I was constantly afraid Ch'nel was going to go over the edge.
We killed time before the sunset by jumping out of this tree
Ch'nel is far more daring than I'll ever be.
Whipping out black and white mode.
Sun begins to set.
Best travel companion I'll ever have.
1000 people told us how spectacular the sunset over the Grand Canyon was, and I would never believe it until I saw it for myself.
I also left my wallet at the Grand Canyon, but that's a story for another day. Probably tomorrow.
