I
recently traveled to the Grand Canyon during a one day road tour with my mom for the first time and it was the
most breathtaking experience ever! It was the experience of a lifetime! It had
been on my bucket list for a while however, I was looking for the
best time of the year to come and visit. I drove from Las Vegas to Arizona
and the adventure was most definitely worthwhile! It was love at first sight. Discovering all these amazing and
breathtaking sceneries!
It all starts with the Colorado River. The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries which cut their channels through layer after
layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. We wanted to experience the Grand Canyon from as many viewpoints as possible to see its beauty, to see the different shades of light.
Our road trip had followed the Colorado River down from her
beginnings in the Rocky Mountains and we saw how she grew and widened her
twists and turns carving her magic and forming her overwhelming size.
While
seeing the Grand Canyon from the top of the rim is breathtaking, the real
experience comes from hiking down into the canyon and feeling its power and
beauty all around you. As you walk down
through the different layers you get to witness the changing colors and
landscape right in front of you. It’s truly awe inspiring.
The
canyons overwhelming size and the changing colors with the light is an
unforgettable experience.
Travel is Worthwhile
