The Grand Canyon, as mentioned on another page (see Cottonwood, Arizona) did not actually seem that large until we started hiking down into it. I think part of the problem from viewing it at the rim is that it is so big, you can’t comprehend the size properly.

It kind of looks like a postcard, simply because the brain struggles to take in the size of the landscape affected by the Colorado River over time. This page was added just to include some images we took when we went for a hike down the South Kaibab Trail.
