The Great Grand Canyon
It might sound cliche, but although the name promised grandness, I guess I just wasn’t prepared for its vertiginous greatness. The Grand Canyon is like nothing I have ever seen, it really pushes your conception of space. It is not only wide and across many hectares, it runs deep. You can see the cracks made to the surface of the earth and can only barely imagine the power and force that created such deep wounds.
It is most definitely a must see. We were lucky with timing, as there was not a lot of tourists. People had warned me of the crowed but during our little hike we were by ourselves most of the time. In terms of accommodation we stayed in Grand Canyon Village but not at the expensive hotels on the Rim, as to have a view you’d need to reserve a year in advance. We did however go for Diner at the most expensive Hotel, El Tovar and if the quality of the hotel equals the quality of the food, you would be crazy to stay there. Pretentious for no reason, we actually sent a dish back as it was just not edible.
This has been an amazing road trip, I am very glad my sister and I were able to see and experience another America than the coastal one we are more accustomed to. It has definitely made me more curious about the Native American’s history.

There was definitely a lot of dears even in the village
