I just looked back on those pics you mentioned, and it really looks cool... Very breathtaking indeed.
Yup, a steam train sounds nice, tho what I would probably consider is that platform thingy I saw on TV. Aparently, they built a glass platform over the edge of the cliff, so you can walk over the edge of it, and see straight down into the abyss... Must remember to pack some dipers, if I ever go there. |  | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | Hey Strat!
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.  |  | _strat_ wrote: | | Great pics Guido! Too bad theres no seagulls...
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. |
