The Grand Canyon. It should have been named The Canyon that makes you feel so small. One thing that was interesting is that there are no fences, you can just walk to it and fall to your ... well that's not why go there.

Around 10pm, when everyone was back to their nice hotel, I came back on the trail. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. Too bad my poor phone camera was terrible in low light.

I just sat there and looked upon the stars, and all I could think about was this:

WHEN I heard the learn’d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

Walt Whitman
