Ongtupqa

Words do a rather poor job a describing the magnificence, magnitude and awe-inspiring nature of the Grand Canyon. Pictures do it slightly better, but not by very much. Even just going to one of the viewpoints and gawping at it doesn't really do it justice. It's 277 miles long, 18 miles wide and is over a mile deep in places. The distances involved are so great that most of it looks 2D, as if it were some giant landscape poster...

Anyway, we are obviously having a hard time putting it into words, so here are some photos (click on them for the full size). But seriously, go and see it in person if you can. It isn't one of the natural Wonders of the World for nothing.
