Grand Canyon North Rim, A Spiritual Experience

This post is a slight departure from my usual. The Grand Canyon’s North Rim being one of the most beautiful places I’ve yet seen on my travels, I feel it deserves reverence.

North Rim of the Grand Canyon

Words can’t express the emotions that wash over you as you stand on the edge of these expansive vistas, hearing only the occasional bird and the rustle of the wind.

Peace, tranquility, and serenity come to mind. But even those descriptions feel somehow incomplete. Magical? Humbling?

A picture is worth a thousand words, and a few feelings, too. Rather than try to tell you about it, I’ve created the photo slideshow below. And below that is my video of the North Rim set to relaxing music. Take a little time from your day and enjoy the peace and serenity. (to see the slideshow and video, click the following link…

I hope you visit the North Rim in person if you ever get the chance.

Many, many years ago. I was a kid, but I still remember it vividly.

The pictures, nice as they are as reminders, cannot show the magnificence of North Rim. You have to have been there in person. Thanks for letting us see them. And when you get to the Texas Hill Country, eventually, just remember: I’ve been to Luckenbach Texas without Waylon and Willie and the boys.

  You’re right, the Grand Canyon’s North Rim can really only be experienced in person.
  
  Hey, another song to add to my travels! I do plan to spend some time in Texas Hill country next year, or maybe this year. You’ll have to tell me what’s the best in Luckenbach, Texas.

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this post! I know I need to see it myself–but the chances are pretty slim at this point… so for now, I’m living vicariously through you!

  I’m glad you liked it! Live vicariously through me – just know that I have no idea what I’m doing and frequently get lost. 🙂
