I visited the Grand Canyon 3 years ago when the winter storm was my first experience and encounter with snow. I am from Puerto Rico where the climate is tropical. Very different. It was a unique experience I had a great time and happy to be able to see the wonders of the Grand Canyon. I would like to visit it again in summer to observe it and enjoy all the nature at its best. The guides were very attentive and the service and facilities were extraordinary.— This text has been automatically translated into English
