Grand Canyon Rim Trail

Grand Canyon Rim Trail

Edit: My wife and I went to CES in Las Vegas in January of 2013. After the event was over with, we took the weekend to travel. We went to the Hoover Dam, the Pat Tillman Bridge and drove out to the Grand Canyon and spent the night at Bright Angel Lodge. It was the first visit to the park for the both of us. When we got to the park, the first thing we did was go straight to Mather Point. We had great weather and the temps were pleasant enough. It’s hard to describe how magnificent it looks. For me, it felt like my brain couldn’t comprehend the size, not right away. I was in awe.

That night, we ate at Harvey House Cafe and it was delicious. I took the video the next morning when we got up early to see the sunrise over the canyon. The video is a little later in the day. I would highly recommend going to see the Grand Canyon. Plan a trip. Wherever you are, start planning!

Thanks @MoniDi & @DanniS for sharing tips on posting. I hope you both get to experience the park, it’s amazing!

Thanks a lot for sharing the video! I’ve been wanting to visit the canyons for such a long time now! Hopefully soon I get there :slight_smile: Was this your first visit? Is it a hard hike to get to the top? Tell us more about your experience.

I know @MoniDi is also quite keen on trips to the US! Maybe we can go together :slight_smile:

Trip to the Southwest Here’s our whole trip :slight_smile: It was a great week. I wanted to upload more 360 pictures while I was at the Grand Canyon because I knew people would like them. Well… I must not have been paying attention to what I was doing because I ended up uploading the picture to my school account. Now it has over a quarter of a million views LOL!

The gran canyon of colorado is the best beautiful place in the world for me.
