The Grand Canyon…Ever since I was a little kid I’ve wanted to see the Grand Canyon in person. To gaze at its vastness and wander in its beauty. My folks weren’t what you would consider the “camping” / rent an RV and drive across the country kinda parents… If they had been it probably would have ended up been a scene straight out of the National Lampoon Family Vacation!

The Grand Canyon is one of the most remarkable natural wonders in the world. Located in the state of Arizona, USA, it is one of the deepest gorges on Earth with an average depth of one mile (1.6km) and an average width of ten miles (16km).

Lets us tell you about our epic adventure from LA to the Grand Canyon! We stayed on the South Rim, went to the antelope canyon sandstone slot canyons, Horseshoe Bend and kayaked on Lake Powell!
