Gaze At The Grand Canyon
Ticked off in November 2010
What it is
The Grand Canyon is 446 kilometres long and up to 1.8 kilometres deep, carved by the Colorado River.
How to do it
The South Rim is open all year and easiest to reach from Flagstaff or Las Vegas. Hike part of the Bright Angel Trail or take a helicopter flight.
Top tip
Hiking to the river and back in one day is not recommended, especially in summer.
My experience
Ticked off, but the full story is still to be written up.
