September 05 Grand CanyonThere are three things about the Grand Canyon. First, no matter how many pictures you may have seen on TV, in movies, or wherever, you will not be prepared for how big it really is. It truly is a Grand Canyon. Second, some views offer this amazing 3-D effect. Not like how we see things in 3-D naturally but more like how they would look in one of those old Viewmasters with the discs. And third, there's a bit of an optical illusion. Some views appear to be quite close when in fact they they're very far away. There's a feeling you could hit something with a well thrown rock but you probably wouldn't get one hundreth of the way there.
You can hike to the bottom of the Canyon but you have to remember that every metre down mean a metre coming up. You can ride a mule. There's a couple of shots of mule trains. They were quite far away but you should be able to make them out.
It was a long day. We took a bus tour and it was a 300 mile trip - one way. Still we didn't have to drive and it was worth it.
Enjoy the pictures. Next trip - Hoover Dam. TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://ourmexicanadventure.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!C2E85A51351BC4F6!521.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
