I was so delighted to go to the Grand Canyon to work on this story, it was a dream assignment. And it felt like everyone I met was in on making the day be nothing short of perfect. America’s National Park’s… there’s nothing better. That’s my story, I’m sticking to it, thanks, Teddy.
This grab-and-go of Grand Canyon memories is exactly what I want to avoid. When I was very young, my father drove our family—my mom, two siblings, me—across the United States from New Jersey to California. On the way, we stopped at the Grand Canyon. I have a pale vision of standing at the railing looking across the chasm for a moment, and then we were back on the highway.

Sadly, I have seen people all the time at the Grand Canyon. Get off bus, out of car, snap picture, back in car and gone. And I think ” How sad”. They do not know what they are missing. You can sit in one spot and the color changes across the canyon depending on the time of day are amazing and watching a storm move across the canyon…a real treat. It is my favorite place…but will have to say…below the rim and away from crowds is the best. And if you have only seen it in summer you are also missing out because the canyon rocks in fall, spring winter and summer. Taking your time at the Canyon is the best.
