"A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size; 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep. Although first afforded Federal protection in 1893 as a Forest ...
from higgsboson pen4hire - Beautiful at any time of year. I was lucky to take the Colorado River trip through the Canyon. A whole 'nother view. And if you go--be sure to dip below the rim on one of the trails, even if you are not a big time hiker.
pen4hire - So glad you listed this in Arizona. Too many people think it is in Nevada, but we Arizonans want to keep possession.
mtbarber927 - What an amazing national park. Something you must see! Beautiful
makemoneybitch - Great park for the family
went here in 1990 and again in 98. My wife and daughter wouldn't get out of the car cause it was raining! Deeply moving, I'll never forget it. See the White Horses on the chalk hillsides in the general vicinity too

@katkimjac I enjoyed my visit and was surprised to learn the site actually extends much further out from the stone circles we typically see in photographs. They actually discovered that the site (precisely located stones and holes for mounting posts) hundreds of meters out from the center, even into the parking lot across the road!

The most famous natural icon of the island-continent, Ayers Rock stands 348 meters in height, measures 9.4 kilometers in circumference, and seems to change color as the day passes. You may enjoy a helicopter or camel tour around the formation, though climbing is discouraged by the locals.

I want to see the pyramids of Egypt at least once in my life. I have always seen it in photos and tv. They are so fascinating.

This is a great place to visit during the holidays. My family went to NYC during December 2006 and we've heard many people talk about rockefeller center. We decided to go there and what an experience it was. A must see are the snowflakes on the ...
from samkeem samkeem - Yes its very nice!
Simply stunning, unfortunately it is quite crowded in there but all you have to do is stand and stare upward. You could look for hours at every little detail on the ceiling and along the walls as well.

Really is the most amazing architecture, and definitely one of a kind and we are proud to have it as an Australian icon!

An awesome sight to see in Rome. It is enormous and so very old. When I was there we learned a lot about why it is in that condition.

the symbolism of this statue is breathtaking, and it really is a positive uplift for the states whenever you look at it

Petronas Towers, twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that are the world's tallest twin towers. Standing 1,483 ft (452 m) high, they were designed by the Argentinean-American architect Cesar Pelli. Completed in 1997, they surpassed Chicago's ...
from buckofive crabbie - Beauty of Stainless steel. I've been to the Skybridge, and the feeling was superb.
The towers from outside looked so awesome that at one point I thought I was looking at a Computer generated image.
annah - Absolutely brilliant looking building... I am always in awe of what mankind can do when I see some of this stuff
I've been there a dozen of times in 2009. Everytime friends and family come to visit Paris, this is a must
from lilmuchang - liked from pen4hire's entry j0shk1ng - A fun place to visit and great views!
earthquest - D.C. is beautiful and this monument is so impressive.
Mt. Fuji can be seen from Central Tokyo skyscrapers as well as Yokohama on a clear day. You can best view Mt. Fuji on board the bullet train (Shinkansen) from Tokyo to Osaka or Nagoya; you can also climb up the slopes during the months of July and August via tour bus starting from Tokyo.

I was the only person there the day I walked across this bridge - veeeerrrrrrry slowly. Then I had to walk back again.
from tioga easton - I love this place!
While stationed in Monterey we walked 17 MILE DRIVE thinking they just called it that...no false advertising there. Long beautiful walk and the lone tree was just another interesting site along the way.
