Arizona!
I get a little taste of it every time I drive from LA - Utah, but I've never been IN Arizona until visiting the Grand Canyon.
It's so pretty! I love it here.
I saw a lot of buffalo.
Like A LOT.
Inside Grand Canyon National Park,
I discovered a gift shop, lodging cabins, hiking trails and this beautiful view:
From the parking lot to this took 5 minutes to hike and look into the vast canyon. I'm standing behind a retaining wall (because I'm scared). Beyond and beneath this is a drop to depths only God knows. Most of the area is guarded/fenced off, but there are parts you can stand and feel like a speck in the Universe.
This was an easy trip to take a baby, husband, Grandma & Grandpa. We drove 2 hours, and saw a part of Earth, time, and creation that we'll cherish forever. If you find yourself in the wild west of America, you MUST take a road trip to the Grand Canyon!
Safe Travels!
