Postcard: Grand Canyon


My husband and I went to the Grand Canyon August 3, 2007. I was in Las Vegas for a Fantasy Football convention thanks to my job at ESPN. My husband joined me for the weekend and we signed up for an all day trip to the Grand Canyon South Rim via short flight and then bus with the tour group Viator. For us, this was the way to go as I can't imagine spending more than a day or two, but it was a perfect combo with Vegas. My college friend P., who is quite adventurous, had spent a week there and hiked to the bottom of the canyon. We're not as athletic and as outdoorsy as P., though. Hopefully, we'll make a family trip someday and try more of the hikes and view other sides of the canyon.

There's not much else to say and I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

  3. It is amazing, isn't it? I didn't visit there until the age of 33 and that just makes me appreciate it more.

  4. Hey I just wanted to tell you that I dropped by to see if you had anything posted, and I ended up visiting the makeup blogs that you recently visited--they are awesome. I am such a makeup/beauty junkie...thanks for the referral...

  5. A lot of loving going around on the desi female blog circuit it seems :) I'm so excited to connect with likeminded individuals!

    I would have liked to see the Grand Canyon in the summer but I can only imagine what temperatures were like in August. I went with a friend around Christmas time a few years ago and it actually snowed! It was inconvenient having to buy winter clothes on vacation but it made for beautiful photos.

    I agree, it's best done as a quick flight/day trip from Vegas rather than an overnight journey.
