US 2005-06: Grand Canyon

Second Stop: Grand Canyon National Park

Immediately after our visit with my dad’s classmates, we left for a 7-hour trip to the Grand Canyon. Grabe... buong gabi kaming nag-drive. Madilim at halos panay super BIG trucks ang kasabay namin sa kalye.

At around 6 am, nakarating na kami sa Grand Canyon National Park. Meron pa silang sariling radio station to guide you around the park. Pag dating namin sa first viewing point para kaming mga baliw! Di namin na-anticipate na sorbang lamig kaya bigla na lang kaming tumalon out of the car at tumakbo papunta sa viewing deck. Di pa kami nangangalahati, bumalik na kami sa loob ng car kasi SOBRANG lamig! Natatawa naman kami sa sarili namin kasi hindi naman aalis ang mga bato di ba?

Pero the long drive was all worth it. I can’t begin to express how majestic and humbling the Grand Canyon is. Di ba sabi it used to underwater... and if you really imagine that, wala kang ibang masasabi kundi, “Wow.”

Here’s me at the Hopi Point. Ito yung pinaka-malawak at pinaka sikat na viewing point.

Pagkatapos namin sa Grand Canyon, we proceeded to another 5-hour trip to Las Vegas. Of course dinaanan namin ang famous Hoover Dam and Lake Mead kung saan natatagpuan ang boundary ng Arizona at Nevada.
