Grand Canyon: a breathtaking place
Photo by the author
During our mini holidays in las vegas we decided to go to the Grand Canyon. Booked a tour. The company that provided the tours took us from the hotel and drove to the small airport from which we flew on a "corncob" type plane. Believe me, such long “half an hour” for me has never been before. At first everything was fine: gorgeous views from the portholes, the Hoover Dam in the middle of the desert and, in general, the buzz to fly so low above the ground.
But when the air pockets began, I wanted to land and not take off anywhere else. I got off the plane on cotton feet. I am not one of those who are afraid of flying, but this one was probably the most terrible in my life.
On the plane we flew to the station, from where the helicopters are leaving. I had never flown a helicopter before in this life. You can probably imagine my anticipation of the flight. And so we took off! Emotions going wild!
But when we flew all the way to the Grand Canyon, then everything ... - a smile from the face just did not descend, and an uncontrollable one! You feel so much delight from flying over the gorges and the beauty that is around ... wow! Just beyond words.
We flew down the deepest canyon in the world, where a tiny muddy Colorado river flows, which, in fact, created this huge gorge. To say that there is beautiful is not to say anything !!! Better see the photo and draw conclusions yourself.
Then we continued our journey by helicopter and flew to the very top of the canyon. We looked at the gorge from the top point. Standing on the glass bridge, through which you can see everything that is below - this is the height of delight! Especially because under the feet of the abyss meters 30 depth.
And when you stand right over this precipice, you are so serene and calm that even goosebumps take hold of you. And you know what surprised most of all - there are no fences! But if you really want to jump, or suddenly your head is spinning, then all ... Write to me !!!
But fear is for wimps! Not having time to remove the heels after a small photo shoot, I easily balanced them over the precipice. ?
And now the time has come to return to Las Vegas on this very “corn farm”. She took a deep breath and off we went.
