The Darling Bride and I just got back from a First Class luxury trip to the Grand Canyon. We were told, by everyone who had been there, that photos and videos can't do it justice. You really just have to go there and experience it. It's true.
We stood at the edge of the South Rim and were just stupefied. It is mind-numbing. It's impossible to get your head around it, because it has its own scale. You really need to save your money up and get there! Take enough for a 50-minute helicopter flight over it. Everything else just pales in comparison.
This picture, like every other picture of the Grand Canyon, is just an image. The real thing will blow your mind.
