My visit to The Grand Canyon!
The following are the photos that I took while visiting the magnificent Grand Canyon, 1 of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World!
I love this shot showing the vastness of the Grand Canyon in contrast to the little people standing at the edge of its cliff!
This shot was taken at the “faraway’ viewing point seen in the first photo.
Look, there’s snow on the shady slopes, even in the afternoon!
Yay, I get to touch some snow at The Grand Canyon! Seeing and touching snow is a big deal for a Singaporean like me, as it doesn’t snow in equatorial Singapore.
See how puny the lodge is, compared to The Grand Canyon?
Can you spot another lodge in this photo? This one’s actually a very well camouflaged souvenir shop, with a lookout area beside it for visitors to access and take photos of the awesome landscape.
Despite the sunshine, it was actually very cold and windy up in the mountains. This fire place in the lodge is a welcome warmth relief for many visitors!
You’ve got to visit The Grand Canyon if you go to Las Vegas. You can go to the Canyon by bus or by helicopter from Las Vegas. I went there by bus from Las Vegas. The available Grand Canyon tours consist of the “South Rim” and “West Rim” tours.
There are many tour operators that offer day tours to this Natural Wonder of the World. You can easily find such tour operator booths when you walk along the Las Vegas Strip.
The above photos were all taken during the “South Rim” tour that I opted for. The bus picks you up from your hotel at 6.30am in the morning and sends you back to your hotel at around 8pm.
The West Rim tour has the U-shaped Skywalk bridge where the bridge floor is made of glass. That location is nearer to Las Vegas and the tour ends around 5pm. If I visit The Grand Canyon again some day, I’ll go for the West Rim tour!
Tomorrow I shall blog about my visit to the famous Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, which were featured in the 2007 Transformers The Movie (TFTM)!

It’s really grand! The sky is so blue!

Hi LEon,
Yes it is, you must visit it someday!
Hi Astro Galaxy,
Thanks! You can consider making this one of your holiday destinations. It’s better to visit such places when we’re still young and fit. There are steps and uneven ground to cover in such wilderness attractions
