An American staple of the wild west, the Grand Canyon! We were in awe as we approached its rim, overcome with the vastness of what was just a fraction of its colossal size. It's hard to even comprehend how far the other side is, but it's just about as far away as you can see. What's even harder to wrap my head around is the magnitude of time and force that it took to form this. Mind-blowing to say the least.
We were only here for a few hours since it was a stopping point on our way to Zion National Park, where we spent most of our time. After walking the rim for a bit, we hiked the South Kaibab trail for about two hours before hitting the road north. This trail was striking and certainly worth experiencing rather than staying up at the rim, which has pretty much the same view from each point. If I went back here, I'd like to maybe do some kind of kayak or white water rafting trip, as that would be super immersive and take many days. Otherwise, for us just seeing it in a day was enough time.
