Big Hole in the Ground

Of course, we cannot skip the Grand Canyon. It is jaw-dropping. There is an easy walk along the top rim, or you can go for something a little more exciting and take some trails down in. I don't suggest trying to get to the bottom and back in one day unless you have hiked it before and are a seasoned hiker. It is a 1-1/2 hour drive from our house. This one costs $25 per car or $80 for a one-year pass to all the national parks.
