Grand Canyon
The first national park I ever visited—the Grand Canyon—presented itself to me on a cloudy day when I was thirteen. The weather didn't cooperate and I was too young to truly appreciate the splendor before me, but I always knew one day I would go back. In 2017 I returned with three friends and got to experience the magic this incredible natural marvel has to offer. And please remember: if you don't stay for sunset, have you really even seen the Grand Canyon at all?
