Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park

I was privileged enough to work for the Forever Resorts Lodge in the Grand Canyon - North Rim for an entire year, including the winter. This is a view of the Canyon from the top of the North Rim during the winter. A view that not many get to experience, so I thought I would share it here!

Sincerely,
Paul

Grand Canyon National Park

America’s Southwest is full of breathtaking canyons, but none as famous or as widely visited as the Grand Canyon. This world-famous landmark offers wondrous views, spectacular hiking, exhilarating whitewater rafting and countless adventures. One look across the enormous chasm confirms just why this inspirational place is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and a must-see destination for so many travelers. The park also protects a wealth of biological diversity, including numerous endemic and threatened species and several rare ecosystems.

State(s): Arizona

Established: 1919

“There is no better use of our land than to stir the soul and encourage reflection, and all of the National Parks do just that with their timeless beauty and grand scale. I want all generations, now and future, to be able to have the experiences I have had and to have a life changing experience like I did.”
