Day 1: Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is perhaps the most iconic natural land feature associated with Arizona. Some even refer to it as one of the scenic wonders of the world. It is protected as one of the many U.S. National Parks. Geologists love the canyon because of the number of layers forming the crust of planet earth that are laid open for all to see. This canyon was carved out over the millennia by erosion by the Colorado River. Photographers, hikers, canyoneers, rafters, and just plain tourists love its expansive beauty, serenity, and intrigue. The land around the canyon is being threatened by mining interests, primarily for Uranium, and needs further protection - support the adoption of regulations if you have the opportunity. Thanks.

Day 2 - White Pocket

White Pocket is a remote, weird, swirling, multicolored, and beautiful rock formation of Navajo Sandstone in northern Arizona. It is near the end of a long, sandy, 4WD road through high desert terrain.
