| 3 Views over the Grand Canyon from the Plane |
As soon as we arrived at the grand Canyon 11 of our party joined another coach for a journey to the airport. Once there we were checked in and weighed prior to boarding a small 19 seat air plane.
GRAND CANYONOmg, you have to go see the grand canyon. It is so amazing. We went with 17 other people in a small plane. I was scared stiff! I was holding onto the back of the chair in front with one hand and taking pictures with the other hand. The plane was so light it was shifting in the wind. It was flying low and the canyon looked so close. We were on the seat with the wings so felt every waver. After a while I relaxed a little and concentrated on photographs. These photos cannot possibly do it justice, the enormity of it. No wonder it is one of the seven wonders. If only I could send the photos to you. Awesome. The guide/attendent on the train up there was so right about the Canyon, it was Grand! When we rejoined the rest of the party at the edge of the Canyon the view was nice but not as spectacular as from the plane. Then the rain came poring down, which did spoil the view.
The whole day was incredible. Even the train getting there was an experience. Our party had a coach to ourselves and an attendant telling us the history of the Grand Canyon and warning us we would be robbed (by actor gunslingers). All great fun and a little bit scary. At the
end of the trip she said "It is not the number of breathes you take in life that
count, but the number of sights you see that take your breath away. We saw a
gunfight, saw a sheriff shoot the baddies, we were involved in a train robbery
and took loads of photos of it all. Wonderful day literally.
