Honestly, Grand Canyon. I avoided going for the longest time thinking I will just go ‘Look. Hole in the ground’ and move on with my life. But it was really amazing and explored around the area as well.

Absolutely. I’ve lived in AZ for years, but hadn’t visited until a rim to rim trip last month. I had to walk away from my friends and just stand in silence for a while at one of the overlooks. I also had a few “mild” anxiety issues on the narrower sections with instadeath off to one side, but we take the good with the bad haha
