10 Words to Describe the Grand Canyon....


Majestic

Fierce

Beautiful but potentially deadly electrical storms rip through the canyon during summer.
This set of cells caused the closure of some sections of the canyon to tourists for a few hours. 
Peaceful
After the storms peace resumes in the canyon.  Sunset is particularly profound. 
Humbling
In the midst of this rugged landscape flowers thrive, growing up through small cracks in the rock eager for any moisture they can find.  
Extraordinary
A visitor to our campsite - we found him nibbling on the lovely grasses and trees in the campground.
Precious

Its not just the canyon that is precious - it's everything that resides or grows within it too.  

 Astounding
Sunrise

Visitors (the really fit, prepared and keen ones) can hike from rim to rim along a narrow winding track.
The hike takes 3 days and is something we'd love to do one day!!! 
 Extensive

Fluid

The Canyon is forever changing due to the forces of wind and rain.
Really big (make that 11 words!!)
It seems to go on forever.....
