ONE TRIP YOU MUST MAKE BEFORE YOU DIE
ONE TRIP YOU MUST MAKE BEFORE YOU DIE

Instead of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, at our age how about just five? One of them is certainly the three grand natural American cathedrals of northern Arizona and southern Utah: Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion Canyon. Each is a national treasure, each unlike anything you've ever seen. Each leaves you whomper-jawed. And each is more audacious, more stunningly beautiful than the others.

1. I've been to all of those parks! They are awesome and utterly breathtaking
in their beauty! The Grand Canyon is just huge beyond belief. Bryce Canyonis other worldly and Zion is one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been.
:) I'm not (yet) a senior so I'm a bit ahead of schedule!

Someday, I want to see Yellowstone and Yosemite!

5. The inside passage to Alaska has them beat
I've been to all the places on the link and to Alaska, and Alaska has them beat hands down.

6. I agree
although the one place I have not been is the Grand Canyon, I have seen it from the air but that hardly counts. I even went on a bunch of horseback trips in Monument Valley. I would have to say that I think Utah is one of the most interesting, psychedelic places I have ever been with Bryce Canyon taking first prize. Still, Alaska is amazing. I never got North of Chena Hot Springs but did the rest of it. An amazing state.
