grand canyon
One of the coolest things about the Canyon is the surprise of the initial view. From the road on which I approached, you couldn't see it all until you could see a fantastic view of ALOT of it--- "Oh my God, there it IS!" The unspeakable vastness is completely stunning. And not only the vastness of space, but the great yawning vastness of time is apparent as well. How impossibly long could it take the river to cut this enormous rift into the Earth? "Millions" and "billions" are merely words. When you look at this, you are looking at time itself.
