Rathnam & I went to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas for the President's Day weekend. Here I want to share our experience in the Grand Canyon. We decided to take the bus tour to the Canyon since we didn't want to drive all the way. Our package included a trip to the South Rim and an IMAX movie about the canyon.
We set out early in the morning. After a quick breakfast we started our journey. We were really excited about seeing the Grand Canyon. On our way we stopped for a quick photo op at the Hoover Dam. Due to the high security these days no one was allowed very close to the dam.
The road leading up to the canyon was very deserted of human life. Everywhere we turned we could only see plants, shrubs and a lot of open area. The entire route was very scenic. I felt as though I was seeing a series of postcard pictures.
Once we landed in Grand Canyon I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful place. Nature has truly humbled all the work of mankind. How slowly and with patience nature has worked out such a beautiful sculpture and the best thing is the work is not over yet.
My husband and I have developed an interest in photography and what better subject to shoot than the Grand Canyon :) So we both started clicking from all angles and we managed to get a few good photos.
This trip will always be remembered with fond memories. One regret was that we were unable to stay around the Canyon and capture the sunrise/sunset. Next time we intend to make a long trip and camp there and go rafting as well. Till then these photos will remind us of our beautiful trip...

COLORADO RIVER (Taken from our bus)
No need of an intro... That's the Canyon
This photo along with the next one gives the perspective of the depth of the canyon. The focus is on the huge pillar. Looks very close doesn't it??
Now look again at the rock... It's way down there. One of the best photos we took there.
