The grand Grand Canyon

Sree had driven to the Canyon thrice already, once everytime in his US trip. He always said to me that he would like to take me there atleast once; but the chances of our trip coinciding was rare. Thanks to the circumstances and our decision of taking a break, we are doing some great trips together.

After spending a day (more of night) at Vegas, we headed to Grand Canyon. The first sight of the Canyon gives goosebumps. An amazing natural wonder of deep ravine carved by the Colorado river; the views are breathtaking. The river has cut through the channels layer by layer on the rocks, leaving patterns so overwhelming. A trek on the rim gives wonderful vistas.



We took the famous hike trail, Bright Angel trail in the South rim for around 2-3 miles one way.
Even though we spent only a day at the Canyon, it was awesome to sit and watch it; specially during the evening watching the sunlight shift from layer to layer before it set.

They say the great experience would be to hike down, camp in the canyon at the river level and then hike back up. Visiting the Canyon from all the directions would be another awesome experience. After this short visit to the Canyon and the short trek, we now await for an opportunity to experience the camping.
