The Grand Tour

We know how the story goes: The last time you saw the Grand Canyon you were buckled in the back seat of your daddy’s station wagon relenting “Are we there yet?” Of course this is typical behavior of an ADD 10-year-old on her way home from a family road trip. However, since then you wish you had paid more attention. Now you only get a few glimpses of this world’s natural wonder from the airplane. You swear you are going to go back, but the Grand Canyon is so freakin’ big where do you start???
