RB Travel Guide: The Grand Canyon
Have you ever stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon? If you haven’t, you should. Now. Go do it. We’ll wait…
Are you back?
Cool.
Did you get weak in the knees? Did you cry? Both?
Good.
Now let’s proceed.
The Colorado River began carving out the Grand Canyon around 17 million years ago. The winding, mind blowing natural occurrence is 277 miles long, reaches dizzying depths of over one mile, and is prone to both extremely hot summers and frigidly freezing winters. It’s also one of the “Wonders of the World” and every man, woman, and child needs to see it with their own eyes before they shuffle off this world.
We’ve covered the “Wonders of the World” previously on this blog, but the Grand Canyon deserves its own shout out as it might be the most wondrous of said wonders. So strap on your pack, saddle up that burro, or just stand at the top and stare in awe, because this installment of the RB Travel Guide is going to be grand.
