One of the seven natural wonders of the world, 227 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and with depths up to 6000ft, sits The Grand Canyon. And what seems like a lifetime ago now, we flew over and into the depths of the wonder it's self.
First call after landing was to get an obligatory handstand picture, and to just stare in amazement at it all. You are actually only allowed 30 minutes on the Canyon floor, due to an agreement with the tribe that owns the land, but it was just enough time for a quick picnic and a cheeky glug of champagne out of a plastic shute (class'ay)
Having missed out on doing the helicopter tour on our last visit to Vegas, we still debated whether to do it this time due to the cost, but we would of been stupid to of not done it, and I am so, so glad we did. The beauty and sheer awesomeness of it all really blows you away, and it's pretty amazing to say that I had a mini picnic with my love on the floor of the Canyon on a beautiful sunny day. Highlight of the honeymoon by far.
So I say DO IT!
:O Such beautiful pictures! And can I just say- what a handstand- I used to be able to them *sigh* :P
