I’m definitely in the minority here but I’m not a huge fan of Grand Canyon because it is simply TOO GRAND. Much like the photo OP posted, it’s like my eyes don’t know where to look and nothing is in focus (I have pretty terrible eyes so that could play a part). Looks like I’m just looking into an abyss of nothing. It’s crazy when you think about the geological processes and the amount of time it’s taken to be created but as far as views go I’m always left a bit underwhelmed.

That said I’ve never made it all the way down and the further down I went the more impressive it was. I think rafting through the Grand Canyon could possibly make it one of my favorites, who knows! View from the top where most people visit is always a let down for me.

That raw photo is great, by the way. I didn’t doubt you personally, but I really like seeing the raw photo nonetheless. Makes it a lot more impressive for me.
