“I’ve heard of it. I heard it’s so deep you can’t hardly see the streams down at the bottom.”

“That’s true. From the rim of the canyon, the big Colorado River looks like a pretty ribbon you could tie your hair up with, that’s how far down it is snaking through the gorge. And the colors . . .

It’s like God took the sunset and laid it down on the rock face that He cut out of the earth. The rock formations are huge and the drop-offs of the cliffs aren’t for the faint of heart. But you can stand on the rim and watch the eagles soar out over the canyon that stretches as far as the eye can see. It’ll make you believe in the Lord like nothing else could.” It was true.
