My favorite part of our trip to Arizona was the last day when we went to
the Grand Canyon. I honestly hadn't heard much about the other places
that we went to on Monday and Tuesday, so it was a surprise when I got
to see them because I had no idea what they looked like. Even though
they were all really interesting and pretty in their own way, I was most
excited to see the Grand Canyon because everyone I know who had been
there before told me it was really beautiful. The night before, I met
two people at Lowell Observatory that were also on a geology field trip
and had just gotten back from the Grand Canyon. They told me all about
how much fun they had there so I was even more excited to see it the
next day. When I saw it for the first time, my initial reaction was that
it looked just like it did in pictures. It was much more beautiful in
real life than it was in the documentary we watched at the LPSA house.
As we explored around it, I couldn't believe how huge it was and was
kind of sad that we weren't going to get to see all of it.
Trying to take pictures of the Grand Canyon was also
hard, especially when you're using a phone camera. I was so happy that I
got to experience it and also learn about the geology behind it. If it
wasn't for this trip, I don't know if I would have ever been lucky
enough to go to Arizona to visit these places.
