Let's see...I have to say it would be driving out to see the Grand Canyon a few years back. On the way there, I stopped to sample some prickly pear cactus fruits, but I was too excited to try them that I totally forgot to peel-off the spiny skin. Well, I ended up having spines all over my lips; but it was worth the taste.
I continued on to the South Rim and took some photos. Gosh, the view was absolutely GORGEOUS. I even saw some people in tears because of the majesty the landscape evoked. The nights were incredible - more stars than I'd ever seen before. And everyone got up early to see the grandeur of the rising sun.
On the last night of my stay, I came across some friendly Swiss folks - a family musical group. The mother spoke enough English so communication wasn't much of an issue, and my brother joined the band when he took out his french horn and played Edelweiss
It was indeed a grand experience. The only bad part was that the campsite was a bit noisy.
