The Grandest Canyon of Them All
Two days exploring one of the United States’ most iconic national parks
The Grand Canyon is undoubtedly one of the most famous of all the national parks. In fact, it’s arguably one of the iconic landmarks in the US in general. So, as you can probably imagine, I was pretty thrilled to finally get the chance to see it for myself while I was in Arizona this past autumn.
This is my 6th park on my way to hopefully visiting all 63. Previously, I have visited and written stories about Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Indiana Dunes, Great Sand Dunes, and Saguaro.
