When grand is grand, there is nothing grander...

Nothing prepared me for the scale of the Grand Canyon. 

As a geography teacher at one time in my life, I remember giving the stats - a mile deep, 10 mile across from rim to rim, 250 miles in length and then you see it.

I looked and looked, until my eyes ached. Grand and glorious.



As Powell wrote 1869, '… the heights are made higher and the depths deeper by the glamour and witchery of light and shade.'
