Today I had my first view of the Grand Canyon, and also saw it from a helicopter. It was my first ever helicopter ride, and the Grand Canyon certainly provided a magnificent reason for doing one. Nothing had prepared me for the size of it and I couldn't really grasp it at first. It is not just deeper, but far wider and longer than you can imagine, and there are far more colours - blues and greys as well as reds and yellows. My photos really won't capture it so I will add a ridiculous one of me in the helicopter.
Over the past few days we have also done more of Arches national park, had a brief visit to the Canyonlands Park, and spent a great afternoon in Monument Valley, being shown round by a Navajo Guide as it is in the Navajo Nation, where the Navajos have some self-government.
It's late and I have to be up early for the hike down into the Canyon so that's it for now.
