Majestic Grand Canyon: Nature’s Grand Design (Fabulous Las Vegas Series 9)

Majestic Grand Canyon 
Nature’s Grand Design 
(Fabulous Las Vegas Series 9) 


After having lunch at the Grand Depo Café 
located on the Route 66, in Williams, Arizona





… which is just a short drive away from

the Grand Canyon National  Park,

…where we stopped and  walked our way

to  the Mather Point overlook.

Despite with all the previous photos we have seen, and tons

reading materials from  travel books, encyclopedias and even

old issues of National Geographics Magazine, that we have

read and researched prior to our visit to the Grand  Canyon,

everyone in my family was still not prepared of what we saw.

The Grand Canyon is probably

one of the most beautiful,

…and one of the most spectacular sights

that one would see in the whole world.

The awesome display of different

linear hues of natural earth colors,

…each representing billions of years

of the earth’s archeological history,

…drawn along the earthen cliffs by the receding
 Colorado River, was a sight to behold.

We looked down at what seemed to be a bottomless precipice

hoping have a glimpse  of the Colorado River at the bottom of

the canyon, but it was just too deep to be visible to the naked eye.

We could not take our eyes off the

indescribably breathtaking backdrop.

It looks as if a divine hand had painted the

incredible view, that is the Grand Canyon,

…using the blue sky as his canvas.

The Mathers Point veiw deck area was
 so beautiful and we didn't want to leave.

One could walk on the rim trail from the Mathers Point 
to our next destinationthe Bright Angel Lodge view deck,
but we decided to ride on our tour bus as we were

traveling with young kids and it was getting very chilly.

From the Mathers’ Point we drove

to Bright Angel Lodge view deck,

…for a different view of the majestic Grand Canyon.

The view at the Bright Angel was

just as majestic and just as stunning.

This time, we were able to see

the serpentine Colorado River,

…that interestingly looked benign, in contrast

to its treacherous and turbulent nature up close.

The temperature had dropped to 1 degree,

so we went to the restaurant to warm up,

…and had some pretzels,  chips, soda and coffee.

We left the Bright Angel Lodge at dusk,

…and we could not get over of the beautiful Grand Canyon experience 
and we promised ourselves to visit Arizona  again in the future.

Grand Canyon is a  place where nature is speaking,  though  no 
one is talking. Everyone is hearing  Mother Earth telling  us about 
our distant past in silence- and we are all listening in full attention.
