The Seven Natural Wonders Of The World

The Rim Trail is along the South Rim       The Grand Canyon,  the mighty Grand Canyon.  One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and I had an opportunity to visit a few years ago.  This is a trip that I will never forget, and I'm looking forward to going back very soon.   On the drive to the canyon we watched a video all about the history of the canyon.   The driver, who was a knowledgeable guide, gave us a chilling  build up as we approached the canyon.  He informed us about the tales of people falling off the canyon.  The trip to the Grand Canyon is about a four hour drive from vegas.   Here are a few pictures that I captured while there.   Map of the various points    This was an amazing trip.  The Canyon is breathtaking, spectacular in size.  Walking around the canyon you had to be very aware of your path because there were no railings.   ...
