Someone I met on our recent trip said that the Grand Canyon looks like Zion upside down. Virtually all the shots I took at Zion were pointing up, while almost all the shots I took at The Grand Canyon were pointing down.
That said, the rock structures themselves were magnificent in both places, dwarfing the human imagination. For a moment, at least, they almost made me wish that I had studied geology some time during my life.
Luckily, you don’t need to understand these structures to appreciate their beauty

in all

their diverse forms.

When I did think about them, I tended to think of them as fortresses

withstanding the onslaught of time.

Magical fortresses that will be here long after we are gone.
