The Grand Canyon
We went on a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon, which was spectacular to say the least. The only thing we perhaps should have done, was take a plane from Vegas to the Canyon, as it turned out to be a 5 hour bus trip, just to get there !!!, 4 hours or so at the Canyon and another 5 hours back ..... what a long day. Despite being in a helicopter, it is impossible to get your head round the size of the Canyon. Indeed I have since watched a National Geographic Blu Ray documentery, that we bought whilst there, and the Canyon passes throught 5 huge resevations and it varies from 4 to 13 miles wide at its brim, it is also 217 miles long , so one wee trip in a whirlie bird just is not going to do it mustard. It certainly is a place I am glad to have visited.
