Grand Canyon

No matter how much you have read about or how many pictures you have seen , nothing can quite prepare you for the first sight of Grand Canyon . It just humbles you with its grandeur. The IMAX film on Grand Canyon shows a Spaniard dropping his sword and praying to God when he discovered them first during one of his expeditions. Such is the telling effect of its sight.

Though quite inanimate during the day time , Canyons come alive with vibrant colors during Sunset and Sunrise. The serenity which engulfs you when sun mellows into the horizon and the joy of watching first angelic rays of the golden sun illuminating the Canyon summits are easily some of the best experiences of your life !

Though these pictures don't do justice to the actual experience , it atleast helps me to relive those magical moments.

They say Canyon experience is much better when you trek down to the Colorado river. We had a taste of that when we started down on the Hermit's rest trail. Lack of time curtailed our trek . Am really looking forward to do that sometime in future .
