Grand Canyon, Huge does not describe it.

You can hear about it and see pictures, but it is like most everything you must see to understand the enormity of it. To be honest, I did not expect to be impressed, but it is impossible not to be.

(Me (with hair) Sherry and her sister Colette.)
One of NC's tallest mountains  is Grandfather’s Mountain.  It is 5,946’ from sea level, so it only projects 2,444’ there are mountains in the grand canyon over twice that high.  It always amazes me to look DOWN on soaring hawks and Eagles.

(That projection is about a mile high and in the canyon)
We went to the South Rim where the RV park is located. From the South rim, there is only one path down into the canyon. We walked down a piece.

Mama and Colette weren't happy when it became narrow, so we turned around. We did not meet any donkeys, You can rent a donkey ride down to the Ghost Ranch. Friends, Vondale and Rose, did that.

You can also take a raft ride thru the canyon or Helicopter ride.

We did not go there, but the latest addition to the tourists attraction is the Sky Walk. built and managed by the Hualapai Tribe.

A Glass walkway 4,000 feet above the canyon base.

I took these pictures off their web site.  I do not know the cost, and I think it is a long way from the South Rim.

To give you an idea how big the canyon is, it stretches 277 miles, up to 18 miles wide and over 6,000 ft. deep. (A mile is 5,280 ft)
When the sun hits the walls ‘right’ the color jumps out at you. Sunsets are spectacular.
We were only here once, there are restriction now on RV’s so we probably won’t make it back.
But it is a fantastic place to visit.
