Grand Canyon Memories

avatar

My trips to the Grand Canyon are the most memorable times that I have seen strange rock formations. The first time Jeff and I visited the Grand Canyon we were en route to Las Vegas. It was very, very cold that weekend. According to my father who we visited the day before not far from Lake Havasu, Arizona the week prior had been a balmy week. It couldn't be helped, because we were there with Jeff's employee meeting and I was just riding along for the visit.

The rocks were fantastic and I struggled with the cold to capture as many photos as I could before having Jeff put my gloves back on my freezing fingers. Looking down into the canyon was breathtaking and something I'd only dreamed about before we met. I never had the chance to venture West of Pennsylvania. That trip was the satisfaction of one item on my bucket list.

The trees that jutted out from the rocks were sturdy and I was impressed with their tenacity. We paid for a whole day of access to the park, but we weren't there for more than a half hour because of the bitter cold and winds whipping on the top of the canyon and because we were going to Las Vegas for a night and a day.

Many people were there despite the temperatures and some even dressed very unseasonably. I believe they were Indian by their dress, Indian as in India, not Native American Indian. One man even wore shorts and sandals. I was flabbergasted by that as I shivered uncontrollably on the walk back to the heated rental car.

We visited the Grand Canyon again a couple of years ago again. I'm persuaded I could return to the canyon every year and never grow tired of the magnificent view. I wish that I could ride mules down into the canyon someday.

Have you ever visited a place that draws you back just to view the majesty?

Yes I have seen pictures, but I guess it does not compare to the real thing.

My daughter went there this year, I have never been but one day I would love to see it.

I am amazed at the people who come down here in the winter, they go to the beach
wearing shorts when it is in the 30s.

I never wanted to go to NYC but was glad I went and would like to go back someday.

I wanted to go to NYC years ago before all the riots and what have you. There are sites I'd have loved to see. I don't know about now with the changes Jeff described. He works in NYC once in a while. To be determined?

Yes, by all means, go to Grand Canyon! It's worth it.

If you ever get to NYC, there is an old Church across the street from the WTC Memorial. It is a small church with a graveyard, the tombstones are burnt from the attack but the church was not harmed, all of the buildings around it had the windows blown out but not one in the church was even cracked. Inside the church is a chair that George Washington sat on.

When I was there they were still building the memorial and inside the church, they had all of the memorabilia that people had sent.

I loved seeing all of the other old buildings and there is another old church that makes you feel like you went back in time, I think it is called Trinity Church.

That's an incredible view you have shared.

Sorry to hear that due to the bitter weather condition, you weren't able to take many pictures of that magnificent place.
