One of my fondest memories was hiking the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and sleeping on the Esplanade—one of the large flat rock plateus before the final descent down to the Colorado river.
It was such a wide and vast space with absolute zero artificial light, that you can see the Milky Way and constellations moving across the sky in brilliant hues.
It was truly an awe inspiring moment and I’m grateful to God for His creation and the fact we get to enjoy it. nostr:note1zcg770su7tt6us560u0gm0fh7xx780epacznlhpqem5aetfcy5kqqwfte9

Grand canyon is vast and beautiful. Glad you got that memory!
Thank you. I’ve had the honor to hike it three times, once on the North Rim and two different South Rim trails

If you ever get the chance, raft through the canyon. I've traveled a lot, and that was probably the most amazing thing I've done. The only problem is that it is a lot more expensive than hiking the canyon. I've been thinking about doing it with my family, but haven't yet been willing to pay what it would cost for 4.
I've looked at thay as well and would love to do it! But yes the cost can make it a challenge!
My dad and brother have done that. I think it'd be cool but too many people for my style. I enjoyed just being down in the bottom of the canyon with one or two other guys--rarely seeing anyone else.
Hiking the canyon is much cheaper than rafting it. Hard part is getting a permit.
I would NOT recommend the single day down and up hikes...
Go spend 7-14 days in the bottom of the canyon moving from campsite to campsite.
It's a life changer!
Also do Zion National Park if you haven't hiked that.
nostr:nprofile1qqsxjsecad06kk2cl6vmwys5wvtctmfvrlglp0w0efv7lsqqtqd665qk8x62z everyone loves to hike The Narrows in Zion, but there are so many other lesser known trails that are equally amazing in their own ways.
I hiked the narrows something like 40 years ago. I think we saw one or two groups of people in our 3-4 hour hike. It seemed like a secret treasure. I hiked it again 4 years ago. It felt like hiking down the street in Manhattan. Everyone seems to have discovered my hidden treasure.
Serioulsy! It's the same with every thing good...eventually people find their way to it...
