Is the Grand Canyon overrated ?

When we planned to visit the Grand Canyon this past spring, one question kept coming up: Is the Grand Canyon overrated? Everyone wants to visit it, but what if it’s just one big hype and nothing more? Sure, the pictures looked nice, some reviews were great, but what is there to see anyway…just some rocks? Well, I was about to find out why The Grand Canyon National Park is so grand!
Once we saw it…we couldn’t get enough of the Grand Canyon
We kept walking around and saw the Canyon from every possible spot. We just couldn’t get enough of it. While there is so much more to the Canyon if you hike down, we just loved seeing it from the top. It took us the whole day, from 10am until sunset. We caught the sunset at a great spot and loved the warm colors (See my sunset photo of the Grand Canyon ).
It’s pretty scary to read how many people fall from the edge of the Canyon. We actually have seen quite a few people getting very, very close to the Canyon’s edge…they were careful and yet daring. Guard your children !

I don’t think it is over rated.
If I had a chance to go there I would probably hike for days.
The havasu waterfalls would be my first destination since I love to take waterfall pictures.
Nice article…

Thanx for the message ForestWander. Yes, I agree with you…the Grand Canyon is indeed Grand ! Hiking is a great way to explore the canyon…the only problem is that it’s harder to do when you have small children with you
Still a lot of fun for the family to visit the Grand Canyon.
