My second visit to the Grand Canyon<\/a> was somehow completely different than the first one: In 2003<\/a>, I was already speechless when just standing at the rim, and looking down into the canyon. This time, however, I needed a bit more to be in awe again.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, do not get me wrong: All in all, this stay was just as amazing as the first one. The sunset on the first evening was already as beautiful as ever. With a helicopter flight over the canyon on the following morning, I finally made sure that this stay will again be unforgettable.\n<\/div>\n

The real highlight, however, was a hike down into the canyon. Together with a fellow traveller, I descended more than 3000 ft.<\/abbr> into the canyon. Then, we hiked over to Plateau Point, where you can see the Colorado River down at the bottom of the canyon. On this hike, I started to grasp how big the Grand Canyon actually is. <\/p>\n
