Have you ever been some where absolutely magical? Like completely and utterly breathtaking? To the point where you think it is just not real? The Grand Canyon was like that for me!
After our walk, we hopped on one of the shuttles and took it out to one of the recommended points for watching the sunset. Though the colors were no spectacular, the sunset was beautiful, crisp, and clean. As I watched the sun sink below the horizon, and shroud the canyon in darkness, I thought about all of the major things I want to do this year - build my coaching business, be published, and fall in love again. I sent a couple little suggestions out to the universe that I want these things, and in that quiet space between light and dark, I know the universe was listening.
Several months go, when were planning our trip to spring training, my friend and I decided to turn the trip into a road trip and add a detour to the Grand Canyon - somewhere we have both wanted to go for a LONG time. The months flew by and before we knew it, we were there ...
We arrive at the Grand Canyon National Park around noon. We checked into the lodge, but our room was not ready. We could not wait to see the Grand Canyon, so we took a sneak peak before we grabbed some lunch. As we approached the edge, both of us took sharp inhales at the sheer vastness of it. Pictures just do not compare.
Our first view of it was something like this:
Starving, we pulled ourselves away from the stunning view to grab lunch. Then we drove out to the far parking lot, and started our several mile walk around the rim of the Canyon. We started at Mather's Point, and walked several miles around the southern rim. There are just no words to describe the beauty, and the pictures don't even begin to actually show the depth.
The next morning we left this beautiful, magical place, but not before we took a few more photos (in Giants gear as we were headed to spring training!!
