there is nothing like standing on the edge of a cliff so high that it doesn't even look real! as spectacular as it looks in photos you've seen, just wait till you see it in person!
Was here on a cross country road trip. After eight hours in the car we just sat at the edge at stared for over an hour in complete silence. The canyon itself is 277 miles long and 18 miles wide!
I remember riding on the back of a donkey on the way down the canyon saying, wow, this cannot be so incredible and wow, I hope this donkey actually knows what he's doing. Fantastic ride & worth every bit of soreness later!!
