ReplyDeleteSo many things to see in this world, so many fantastic places to go. For tourists in the United States absolutely the Grand Canyon should not be missed. This is a stunning work of nature, and I do suggest seeing nature is something that many Americans seem to miss out on nowadays as they work in offices and are surrounded by buildings and walls. The Grand Canyon is spectacular and I think seeing it alters one's perception about what is important in life.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great, although to be honest I am not sure I would venture out on that precipice, it looks like an accident waiting to happen, I think a helicopter ride would be safer.
