Life on the Edge of Grand Canyon

Are you living on the edge? Well these guys are as you see on the photo. I took this photo in 2003 when myself and my husband visited Grand Canyon National Park. The canyon is just so powerful. We did not expected to see what we saw, even pictures do not describe the feeling. When we drove into the first point, we were looking up to the sky and see what will be our first view. To our surprise, we walked about 100 meters from our car to the first point, and to our surprise again, this great view was below us. Yeah, I don't know what we were thinking then, this is a canyon and not mountains, lol. Glad that we had some winter clothes - what a change from Las Vegas, Nevada. We actually took a day trip and drove through the desert to the Grand Canyon National Park. Desert was flat, dry and once in the while some kind of life - humans, very skinny cows, cactus growing somewhere in the mid of field. Not many cars. It was good feeling, no worries, beautiful view, just us, the car and nature all around us. It took us about 4 hours through the desert. The drive was so nice and that we kind of forgot about the gas pedal, so we arrived at Grand Canyon Park around 3 pm that day and we had to rush to see at least few observation points. Guess what, going back we drove through the desert in a pitch black, now the feeling wasn't the same - more like the feeling from Jeepers Creepers 2001 movie. We also noticed that once we drove up to trail of cars, we stayed together, no body wanted to drift away, and I could see why. We arrived safely late that night, and I am here today blogging about it.
