Wow, they could make it into a real nice bass fishing lake if they start now.
I haven't been to the canyon in probably 10 years. The first time I saw it was at 3 AM on an (early) Friday morning. There was no moon in the sky, so I didn't actually see anything. But there still was a sense of a vast gaping hole across the railing from me...
I need to take a trip there and also visit some people in Flagstaff.
I could make that trip in a weekend.

It's 90 minutes for me - only go there for work these days, too crowded for me...
Someone had to work at making that mistake.
Are a few of the posters (Peter,jimAz and others) here not getting the gist of Dan's post.
Attention to detail?
Maybe should have been in the humor category

Maybe they should put it back in Arizona 😀
I was at the Canyon last week. Guess I should have waited for them to move it to Arkansas, as that would have been a shorter trip.
We were on a packaged tour of the parks of the southwest. That saved us a lot of planning the best stops, reservations, and driving. It also felt confining at times with the tour director telling us how long we had at each stop. And then waiting on the bus for people who were late getting back.
They told us that last year 36 people died at Grand Canyon, mostly due to falls, the effects of dehydration (even TDD would need to drink), and maybe a few from lightning. I can see why they fell. Fools were standing on the wall over the dropoff. The picture would have been just as good from beside the wall. People with selfie sticks backing up toward the edge to compose the picture. A guy sitting on the edge dangling his feet, in an off-trail spot where nobody has checked the stability of the rocks. A woman posing on the slope of a rounded rock "only" 50 feet above a stream. Seeing all that increased my fear of heights rather than familiarity lessening it. We heard an eyewitness report about someone falling from one of the trails in Zion the day we were there, but got no details.
Rim-To-Rim-To-Rim is awesome, not for me, but very impressive... had a co-worker that did it with his father. amazing

It's the 2016 GC Continental Drift tour.
I think that West Virginia is the next stop on the tour.
My GC tale...
On my 21st birthday, I and a beautiful female companion hiked down and back from the South rim. We had canteens some snacks plus a flask of tequila that we started sipping half way back up to numb the pain. She was starting to get blisters on the way back up, so she went barefoot to the top.
We had a young dog that was prohibited on the trail. So we had to make it a day trip while someone dog sat at the campground.

My brother and I drove from Modesto, CA to the south rim of the Grand Canyon (right by the rail station) in just under 9 hours one night. It is normally a 12-ish hour drive. It was Thanksgiving, overnight. so no one was on the road.
Incredible place!! Definitely one of a kind..
