This past week, I was lucky enough to go to Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. It was like nothing else I've ever seen. The canyon is historical, endless, and a truly amazing sight to see, whether you love the outdoors or not.
Here are ten thoughts I had while traveling one of the most beautiful places in America:
1. "Woah. I've never seen something so beautiful."
Watching the sunrise was like no other sunrise. The sun creeps up and lights up the entire canyon from rim to rim.
2. "How big is this place?"
It quite literally just keeps going.
3. "I bet there's a scorpion under there."
Under every rock and nook you feel like there is something there. At least I was scared there would be. Better not put my hand too close.
4. "There is no way the Colorado River is that calm."
From way above, it looks so peaceful and serene, like a painting. But I won't be fooled.
5. "How did they get down there?"
Some people just climb down so leisurely. Like what? How? Please don't fall.
6. "This heat isn't that bad."
And it really isn't when you wake up at 5 A.M. Until you've walked your full 10K steps for the day in 3 hours and then 12 P.M. hits.
7. "Excuse me sir, please get out of my photo op."
Nobody cares if they're in your way, because they probably think you're in there way and everyone just wants to take in the beauty.
8. "There HAVE to be bathrooms around here."
The only way to stay hydrated is by drinking so much water.
9. "How can the Earth possibly be this wondrous?"
You can stand and stare all day and still not get tired of it. It's amazing and wonderful, and a place you should visit 100 times over.
10. "More and more and more please."
You can't do everything in one day, and you just want more and more of the Canyon.
