NP - Grand Canyon


"We have had another wonderful experience together. Let those who will, buy lands and hoard money; we will have our memories, glad memories of golden experiences together." Margaret Gerke 1915

The Grand Canyon was part of the English Trip in 1929.  

It was one of the places that made Grammy and Grampy fall in love with Arizona.

We stopped in the Grand Canyon on a trip to visit Grammy in Green Valley in 1982, and both Jess and Andi spent a week camping there with their class when they were in 7th grade.

Grand Canyon of the Colorado River - Thomas Moran
"...keep this great wonder of nature as it now is. Leave it as it is. You can not improve it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is keep it for your children, your children's children and all who come after you as one of the greatest sights which every American, if he can travel at all, should see.  
Theodore Roosevelt 1903
