The most fabulous trip I have ever made in my life is undoubtedly my visit to the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Located in the state of Arizona, this mammoth rock structure was carved out by the Colorado river more than six million years ago. Approximately it stretches across 446 kms and 4 to 18 miles wide with a depth of 1.6 km at some places. The Grand Canyon is one of the most visited tourist place in the US and every year tourists keep flocking to be amazed at this geological wonder.

We had planned our trip well in advance. As I had thought, we would be visiting the southern rim of the Canyon although I knew the area was always overcrowded and parking space was scanty. Numerous hiking trials are available but we decided to hike to the northern rim was was more remote and higher in elevation. Usually the northern rim is closed due to heavy snowfall in winter. The Havasu Canyon can be accessed by paved roads. Still furthur west, one can travel via the paved road to Peach Springs Canyon. There are various isolated spots offering mesmerizing sights which are undoubtedly unforgettable. A remote part of the canyon named Tuweep, can be reached traveling on a dirt track about 60 miles from Utah. Great aerial views await travelers.
