Places I want to see: Grand Canyon edition

I've seen it. It's awesome!

I have been to the south rim, we stayed in one of the park department cabins for a night. It is just as spectacular as you would think, just stunning.

Ohhhhh, we had been thinking about going there for a long time - still haven't done it. We want to get there by train! Seen millions of photos of the view - how magnificent it would be to see it in person!

The Grand Canyon is beautiful, Faye! Pretty and I made a side-trip 20 years ago to see it. We drove along the South Rim on our way home from spending two weeks having adventures along the Pacific Coast in California. (There is so much for small town folks to see and do out west that we couldn't begin to see and do it all, but we tried!) I have some gorgeous pictures of Pretty (and the stuffed burro we bought at the Grand Canyon Hotel the night before) at several of the "Lookouts" along the rim. (Nope, we didn't go down into the Canyon. Pretty was 7 years old. I wasn't about to risk her riding a burro down that steep trail and back up again.) We did have one "fun" event happen at one of those stops... I picked up a pine cone. (This was before it was illegal to "disturb" the "scenery" at the Canyon. I am probably the reason that "law" came into effect. *shrug!*) A lady (and I use that term loosely) started screaming I was destroying her viewing pleasure. When one of the Park Rangers came through, he stopped to find out what the problem was... As he and I were talking, I tossed the pine cone into the Canyon. He turned to the "lady" and told her that I was no longer "disturbing" her view and ask if she was loving the view better since she could no longer see the pine cone. Then he reached down, picked up a pine cone, handed it to me and told me to have a great day. Some people concentrate too much on what others are doing instead of minding their own business.

This is one I would also just love to visit. If I ever win the jackpot. It is breathtaking!

It must be an awe-inspiring sight.

I have been, and I loved it. They didn't have the glass walkway back then. I wouldn't be able to afford what they charge to walk on it though.

I'd be too scared

I would too however my son was there in March, yup March and the place was packed, he could hardly get close enough to see it. He thought the place would be deserted boy was he surprised.

I wanted to visit there once but never made it.

I've seen and I really wasn't that impressed.

I visited similar places, not impressed one bit, and have decided to skip this place.

Our oldest daughter and husband have been and recommend it highly

I have been twice and once we flew into the canyon in a helicopter. The glass platform is really expensive to do we found.

I did not go to the bottom but did take a small plane from Las Vegas to this most amazing place.

You should go Faye-san, take a picture and post a discussion about it. :)

Sounds amazing.

I've never been there, either. Never even been to Arizona.

I've heard so much about it, but I'd rather see it in movies or on television.

IN all the pictures, it's so beautiful. I'm not sure I would want to travel extensively on horseback, but just to see the view would be exciting.
