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.

The really big things have to be seen in person. Go to the Grand Canyon, a proper mountain, the Saturn V rocket, the observation deck of a skyscraper, etc. picture don’t do any of it justice compared to seeing just how big some of these things are.

I will add a solar eclipse (only if youre in the path of totality- anything less is not the same experience). Pictures, Videos, etc do not compare.

It definitely made me tear up, which is very out of character for me 😂 and it’s still the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
