I've been to the Grand Canyon about seven years ago. I posted pics of it in this thread a while back. My family and I went there during the summer, so it was very hot. We stayed in a small village nearby and got to the canyon itself by train (an old steam train, that is). If you love breathtaking desert scenery, then that's the place to go. One might even say that it looks like something out of one of those classic cowboy movies. The "hole in the ground", as many like to call it, extends for miles and you can see alot of rock layers! There are tours where you could go all the way to the bottom of the canyon, although I heard that they are pretty expensive. You can also go river rafting in the Colorado River, which is at the bottom of the canyon. We simply walked along the ledge of the canyon, taking in the scenery.
Glad you're considering it, though. It's a great place to do some sight-seeing! I'm hoping to go back someday. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by _strat_ from Friday, July 10, 2009 4:44:12 PM)

Anyway, Canada is now definately on my list of countries that Id like to visit... And hopefully will.
That said, anyone been to the Grand Canyon? Not Canada, I know, but Id like to hear more about that too.
