The grand canyon

"ugh when are we going to get there, we have been driving for like four hours" said my brother, looking out the window I was thinking "wow this doesn't look like I expected the grand canyon to look. Then there we were pulling through the national park entrance and driving to find our hotel. "hey dad i'll catch up with y'all in a few minutes, Im going to go check out all this fuss about the Grand Canyon" I sad as I started to walk towards a crowd of people, and a silver fence. As I started to approach, I could see a small amount of intense color. Then my entire surroundings changed and I felt like an ant next to a large building.

 Beautiful, expansive, peaceful, majestic; none of these words can explain what the first sight of the Grand Canyon was like to me. It was breathtaking, magical, never ending, and life-changing. At that moment all of my worries vanished because I realized how exquisite the word is, and how small all of our worries are compared to the beauty of it. I hope that everyone has a chance to see this masterpiece at some point in their lives, because it truly is a stunning place. 

  One quote that I have seen many times, "live for the moments that take your breath away," is one that really came clear to me that moment that I was standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon, all of the people around me a blur, and all of the voices unheard, my mind finally at peace with the wonders of the world.

  1. Wow I could only imagine! All I have heard are good things about the Grand Canyon. One day I hope to go there because I have heard it is so pretty, and by the way you described it, it is!

  2. My brother would have said the same thing and been very impatient on a long car ride. The descriptive words that you used to describe the first sight of the Grand Canyon made it easier for me to imagine. This trip sounds like a lot of fun! I would love to visit the Grand Canyon one day!
