Some things are so large the human brain cannot fathom their existence. \u00a0The Grand Canyon is no exception. \u00a0It is so massive, it looks fake. \u00a0Almost as if you are looking at a painting against the earth. Some sort of optical illusion… \u00a0No wonder when Clark Griswold arrived he immediately left again.<\/p>\n

We met a guy today from Germany, again mesmerized by our bikes. \u00a0He is also a BMW rider in Europe. \u00a0We chatted with him for a bit and he took our picture for his records.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it pays to take the road less traveled. \u00a0We looked at the map and decided to take the ‘long way’ out to our hotel. \u00a0The views we saw by going over an hour out of our way were absolutely amazing. \u00a0Miles and miles of Canyon viewing without a single tourist in sight. \u00a0After riding that way I felt cheated for having paid money at the Grand Canyon National Park. \u00a0I felt bad for all of the other travelers who didn’t know what they were missing. \u00a0It is truly amazing to be awestruck by God’s creation.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some things are so large the human brain cannot fathom their existence. \u00a0The Grand Canyon is no exception. \u00a0It is so massive, it looks fake. \u00a0Almost as if you are looking at a painting against the earth.
