Do you remember Niagara Falls blog http://livelearnshineon.blogspot.com/2012/01/niagara-falls-just-dream.html ?? So this is like the ultimate #1 favorite place along with Niagara Falls, only it feels different - you feel FREE!! This is one unbelievably beautiful place where you can feel yourself as a real part of Mother Nature: makes you forget about everything, just relax and enjoy the stunningness (I know it's not even a word! :P) of its masterpieces!The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation (I'll blog about them some time later), and the Havasupai Tribe.
The Grand Canyon is 446 km long, up to 29 km wide and attains a depth of over 1,800 meters.
One of my favorite spots there was the Skywalk!!
The Grand Canyon Skywalk (opened since March 2008) is a transparent horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge which gives you the view of the canyon and its see-through bottom makes you feel like walking on air right above the canyon's base (the elevation at the Skywalk's location is 1,450 m!!!).
Here's my adventure in pictures, including the park, going to the mountain top, the Eagle Point eagle, Skywalk and Colorado River :)
There's one crazy picture with me sitting at the edge of the Canyon and a sign: "Falling Hazard"... not gonna post it to save few people from heart attacks :D sorry!
P.S. All pictures belong to me.
