I remember when I actually traveled to the Grand Canyon; I had never seen this giant canyon except for in pictures before. I believe that the location greatly surpassed the image's detail, and the emotion that I felt while being at the actual Grand Canyon was a thousand times stronger than anything I could have felt from an image. This trip to the Grand Canyon will always remain as a very vivid memory, and because of this I feel even stronger emotions than before when I see a picture of the canyon. I will always remember the emotion I felt while standing beside it.
