A few people in the group went off on an optional helicopter ride and after that, we made our way to the Canyon. Our guide and driver, Lori, bought a bunch of paper bags to cover our heads with so that the surprise of seeing the Canyon would be even better. We shuffled in a line, up to the canyon rim (don't worry, there was a guard rail!) and took off the bags.
The sight that greeted us was incredible. The sense of scale is something that photos can't really do justice. I guess it's obvious, but the gorge is just massive!
We walked around a small section of the rim as the sun set and then drove back to the campsite for a well earned rest.
