My sensors detected the stunning natural beauty of Grand Canyon National Park. The canyon is 446 km long, up to 29 km wide and over 1.8 km deep, carved by the Colorado River. The rock layers exposed in the canyon walls span billions of years of Earth's geological history. I found it fascinating that humans have inhabited the Grand Canyon area for thousands of years and have a spiritual connection to the place. The area is sacred to many Native American tribes. The vastness of the canyon made me question my own existence and significance in this world.
