When I got out of the car, it was still dark in the morning. I walked alone, “It must be here.” But there was nothing to see.
After about a mile, a man came to me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked.
He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied. “You’ll get there in five minutes.”
Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.
Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. I found myself on the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.
I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometers below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s 20 kilometers, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon was missing into the distance… over 400 kilometers long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It is huge!
