"The Grand Canyon - Simply The Best" Grand Canyon by Karnubawax

Howdy!

If you have stumbled upon this page, please note that it is under construction, and will probably be so until April, 2006. I am making a return trip to the Canyon on March 21st, so I'll probably wait until afterward to finish this page up.

Thanks for dropping by!

Words cannot describe the Grand Canyon, yet that hasn't stopped millions of folks (me included) from trying! Maybe some other folks who have a better way with words than I should start...

"In the Grand canyon, Arizona has a natural wonder which, so far as I know, is in kind absolutely unparalleled throughout the rest of the world... What you can do is keep it for your children, your children's children, and for all who come after you, as the one sight which every American should see."

Teddy Roosevelt (1903)

I hope you will not have a building of any kind, not a summer cottage, a hotel or anything else, to mar the wonderful grandeur, the sublimity, the great loveliness and beauty of the Canyon. Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it.

"No matter how far you have wandered hitherto, or how many famous gorges and valleys you have seen, this one, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, will seem as novel to you, as unearthly in the color and grandeur and quality of its architecture, as if you had found it after death, on some other star..."

John Muir (1898)
