From Landscapes and wildlife to history and adventure, what’s the one thing about the Grand Canyon that has intrigued you?
The landscape is fascinating. These vibrant red, yellow and green shades, with a purple and blue mist in the morning. Also the Canyon remains untouched by men, this is a wonderful experience to lose yourself there.

Hi! My name is Adriana, I am a 22-year-old French student. I came in NYC last summer for a year-long internship and wanted to finish this American experience by a road trip in South Western America, from San Francisco to San Diego, via Las Vegas and – of course – the Grand Canyon.
