Grand Canyon Winter Photo Album

We were so excited to finally see the Grand Canyon. We decided to visit the points along the orange bus route first… yes the ORANGE route :) Don’t have time to read this now? Pin it for later!

We started at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center. We watched the free Grand Canyon movie. We learned things we didn’t expect such as humans had been living near the Grand Canyon for 10,000 years and every year the Colorado River makes the Grand Canyon deeper by the depth of a sheet of paper. Over a very very very long time (6,000,000 years!) plus erosion the Grand Canyon was formed. We were also surprised that early explorers thought it was valueless. Lt. Joseph Ives declared the Grand Canyon and the surrounding area as "altogether valueless."

We rode the bus to Mather Point and when we took our first look at the Grand Canyon we thought our eyes were playing tricks on us. It didn’t look real. It truly is something that must be experienced! The winter snow adds to the beauty of the Grand Canyon. Check out our photo album for pictures of the Grand Canyon in winter.
