At 277 miles long and 18 miles wide the Grand Canyon is unfathomably large. I’ve seen it from the rim, hiked to the bottom, and back up, but seeing it from a helicopter was the catalyst in putting it all into perspective. For 45 minutes I sat in awe absorbing the sheer size and scale of the Grand Canyon as we flew from the South Rim to the North Rim and back. One of the best experiences of my life.
