Grand Canyon, USA
I just wonder where to begin to describe this magical place. It's like a dream come true. The views from the edge, with a view to infinity, you feel all the majesty of nature and inevitably become a part and connected with it. It is as if you are in a colorful fairy tale and at the same time in the set of an American movie. Time stops, you forget about work and worries and only enjoy yourself. Like meditation, but with your eyes open. The walk is long and is for people who love the mountains. However, for the lazier there are buses that are free. Something that is extremely important is to carry water and food with you, as there is only one place where you can get water. And sitting down for a rest tired and hungry and enjoying the view in front of you is even better than the best ice cream :))) tiredness disappears and you seem to be ready for a flight over the Canyon.
It turned out that in the canyon you can practice diving, climbing and camping, which is only allowed in certain places because it is too wild. Another very important thing is that you must be well dressed because the weather there changes, especially when you climb up regardless of the season. If you are with an organized excursion, be sure that they will require you to wear a hat, otherwise they will not let you in. You may see a snake along the way. I personally did not see it, but there were people who commented that they saw it and it was pink. Well, even the snakes are in tune with the canyon :))) Since the Grand Canyon is located in the protected territory of the Hualapai tribe, if you want to go down to the river, you must get a permit, which will cost about 100 dollars. Also, it turns out that if you want to ride a Native American kayak on the river, you have to make a reservation at least a month in advance. The canyon is sacred to the tribe and respect must be shown for their beliefs, namely that according to them, through the river in the canyon, the souls of the dead move to the afterlife. Also available are flights over the canyon by helicopter or small plane, as well as mule rides. It was expensive for me and I didn't go down to the river or fly in a helicopter or plane.
On your way, do not take anything from there, because it is forbidden to take pebbles, plants or other small objects, because they belong to nature and should remain hers. If you get caught, you will be fined, and in my opinion, the best memories are those seen through our eyes, sensations and the camera. And let me mention again that the Grand Canyon has countless breathtaking chasms of enormous size, extraordinary and heterogeneous rock formations, which in itself is wow and a memory of a lifetime. I hardly managed to describe this beautiful corner of the world to you, so I wish you to see it live! Enjoy!
