Great piece with tons of useful info, thank you kindly for sharing! A visit to the Grand Canyon is definitely on my "list" and look forward to checking out your suggestions:0D In addition, I know what you mean when noting that pictures "do NOT do the Grand Canyon any justice" and recommending seeing it in person. I experienced this feeling during last month's lunar eclipse. Despite how many pictures I took I felt like none could depict it's true magnificence! Thanks again :0)
