Day 19: The Grand Canyon


The wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself. The resources of the graphic art are taxed beyond their powers in attempting to portray its features. Language and illustration combined must fail. ~ John Wesley Powell

The Grand Canyon is awesome, in the truest sense of the word. Photographs absolutely do not do it justice. Until you stand on the edge and stare down at the thin ribbon that is the 350-mile wide Colorado River, you cannot understand the grandeur of the Grand Canyon.

I stood along a quiet spot on the canyon rim, alone for several minutes. Distant and quiet, the roar of the river rapids almost a mile below was soft and muted. A gentle breeze stirred the air and I rested in the presence of God.

He created a seriously cool Earth.
