You can ACTUALLY see this one from space. We rolled into Grand Canyon National Park about 30 minutes before sunset. When we got out of our car and walked over to the edge (the south rim) all I could do was stand there with my jaw dropped. Our friend Kris had been here before, and what [...]

The trip started with a delicious breakfast burrito and some awful weather at [...]
