During this spring break I had the chance to go to the Grand Canyon. I never thought how amazing it would be to hike this canyon but the experience was mind blowing. While I was hiking I stopped two or three times to listen, like the exercise we did in class. It was a great experience, beautiful! I couldn't believe how right Ishmael was. I never realized that his idea that the human race is so insignificant in the natural world was so true. I felt so tiny going down the canyon and looking out into the wide open space. This was an experience I hope to repeat many many times in the future and I think everyone should visit. During my hike I saw people on the side of the path that were volunteering to keep the path groomed for visitors. Maybe there is hope for the taker culture! If we can protect this beautiful landmark then that proves that there are still people who care about preserving our environment.
