Joe Versus the Grand Canyon

In my continuing series of challenges to major forces of nature (see Joe Versus the Volcano, and Joe Versus the Virgin Islands, also in the photo gallery), I visited the Grand Canyon for the first time in the late fall of 2003. Selecting my favorite 25 photos out of the four rolls I took during my 3 days in and around the national park was exceedingly difficult. I've never seen a place that so well lives up to its name. Grand indeed.
