3. Grand Canyon, Arizona
Okay, sure, just staring at the picture — no matter how impressive it is — you might be thinking, “Oh, neat, the Grand Canyon, a massive rock hole in the Earth. Fascinating …” Bear in mind, though, that this 277 mile long gulch is the product of more than 2 billion years of work. Wind, water and debris conspired over an incomprehensible amount of time to deliver this massive, awe-inspiring geological relic. If you ever want to feel the raw transformative power of Earth, simply take a ride to the bottom of the Grand Canyon or visit the rim at dawn or dusk. The photos don’t do it justice.
