I first saw the Grand Canyon out the window of a plane….a small plane.
In 2010 I spoilt myself with an hour and a half flight in a little 10 seater aeroplane. Back then though I thought that I was landing at the Grand Canyon and that I would get to spend the day taking in all the wonderful and amazing views. It was not to be. Somehow I had incorrectly selected the ‘flight only’ option which included simply, just that.
At the time I was disappointed. Really disappointed, but I have since learnt that there is a reason why these things happen and in late September I found out why!.
After exploring the Valley of Fire with Fi, I got to spend the next day exploring the West Rim of the Grand Canyon with Laura. And what a day it was. I’m not sure how many times we said ‘this is amazing’ to each other as we wandered around the various points at Eagle Point (see above – can you spot the Eagle Kaylene??) and Grotto Point. But they simply were and I thought that I’d share some with you, just so you can see for yourself.e
(Test yourself on the first pic.. once you spot the eagle, can you spot the dog and his ball – it’s amazing what the natives can see!)
