So thankful I followed through on my desire to see & experience the "total".
My other breath away moment was the first time I saw just how massive the grand canyon actually is. In my imagination I had no idea how huge it is & taking the mule trip down to the plateau & seeing the canyon between 2 mule ears was so cool.
Another breathtaking experience was seeing Yellowstone in the winter all snow covered. Made the steam from the geysers even more amazing & frost covered trees that they call "ghost trees" in the winter. Bison & elk wandering close to the snowplowed road they only allow x-country skiing, snowmobiles or snow coaches on.

A mule trip down the GC would be something else. I saw the GC at 30,000 feet and even then it was pretty breathtaking.
