Get out of the car and open your eyes. Stow your phone and camera for an hour and just look around. Absorb the sounds — there are a few, the colors — too many hues to count — and the clear air. Measure your own height against the trees, and your endurance against the rocks along the first mile down the Bright Angel trail [which is about as far as many get before reversing] Then take a look at what you can see on your phone and realize there is no substitute for being there.

I remember going up to the railing, looking down and thinking, “It doesn’t look all that deep.”

My grandmother kept her knitting in a metal tin. It was her can-yarn.

When viewing it, it’s so impressive that even if you’re really tired you cant-yawn.

It’s too far, I can’t see it clearly. What’s that can yonder?

It’s too deep for your shallow minds…

The part that’s “missing” is (what makes the canyon) the canyon.
And the more that’s “missing” the bigger greater grander it is.

Ah, he’s a “the canyon is half empty” kinda guy.

I looked over it and thought, it looks just like all the photos you’ve ever seen of it.

It’s quite impressive from a helicopter viewpoint.

One of my favorite cartoons showed a family at the Grand Canyon reading a sign that said, “It started as a pothole on a suburban street.”

It was just a creek when the Flintstones visited it.

That’s ‘cause Daffy filled it in in the 40’s, and had to dig it back out.

Here’s where we throw in the obligatory reference to Valles Marineris on Mars, depicted here beneath an outline of the lower 48:

You just start on flat ground and wash away everything that doesn’t look like Grand Canyon.

The Grand Canyon is the pits.

At the time it was named, it was a canyon on the Grand River. They later renamed the river, but the name of the canyon stuck.
