For those who don’t know the magnitude of the Grand Canyon it is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide and over a mile deep!! It really is Grand..!!
Are you sure about how deep it is? That seems a bit excessive. That would be Denver's elevation down to sea level.
I'm sure it is 1000's of feet deep, but 5280 ft, I'm no so sure
Don't forget that the Colorado River runs thru the The Canyon.
@@prollins6443it’s 6,000 feet deep at it’s deepest point and 18 miles at its widest
@@prollins6443 there are some parts of it that are six thousand feet deep. That little creek saw at the bottom, was the Colorado River. I've been down it on Horseback, and it takes all day to get to the bottom .
And to go from the South Rim to the North Rim is over 200 miles! And the North Rim is closed in the Winter.
There really is no camera that can give you the true feeling of scale of the Grand Canyon. It does make one feel incredibly small and insignificant
You are so fortunate Marie!! Many Americans, like myself, have never been to the Grand Canyon. And to think there is so much more of the US and Canada for you to see.
I just want to start this by saying we are all citizens of this earth. The Grand Canyon is one of the true marvels of the world that everyone should see. It is so grand and so big that no matter how many pictures you take of it or stories you tell cannot put into context truly how magnificent it is to see.
Ps, I am so happy you could bring your dogs with. ❤
I visited the grand canyon as a 12 year old kid in 1975, and let me tell you. Those memories are burned so hard into my brain that when i close my eyes sometimes, it almost feels like im there again. Standing at the rim in just complete awe of what i was seeing in front of me. The look on your face when the sun was rising, and you walked out towards the rim, let me know that in 40 years you will be watching these memories when you close your eyes. They are forever etched into your soul.... That is a gift to be treasured for sure. As always, stay safe my frenchtastic friend........oh yea.....that shot where you were able to write frenchtastic in the snow with that view.....just wow. Im so happy for you
Just imagine the millions of years the Colorado river eroded the earth to create this magnificent canyon
Or it could have been the receding waters of Noah's flood that eroded it.
@@formergoat9257 No.
@@formergoat9257 : Doesn't look like flood erosion to me.
@formergoat9257 one might think that if they had a severe mental disability or missing chromosomes, sure. Anyone smarter than a dead rat, though, wouldnt.
You always see pictures and film of the Grand Canyon but until you see it in person you dont realize how beautiful it is.
And how massive it is. I've been to it at least 20 times now, and it still takes my breath away.
Those two little dogs that you're traveling with are so precious ❤
The canyon is one of the natural wonders of the world. Very glad you got to see it, especially under different light, as it changes. I'm not sure, but I think the horses were mules. They're more sure footed on mountain trails.
The Grand Canyon in person looks like an optical illusion - a flat image hanging in the air ahead of you. It’s so big and the opposite edge so far away, there is no parallax. It looks … flat. It’s majestic.
Truly, no pictures can ever prepare you for the reality. It looks like you had a spectacular adventure.
And Marie wants to ride the elk. LOL!! In the mating season the males make the most eerie trumpeting sound you ever heard. It can be heard for miles. The common theory is that the Grand Canyon was carved by the Colorado River over millions of year. (I think that is still the most common) But some geologist think a great ice dam broke loose in some glacial period & a massive torrent of water (bigger than we can imagine) formed most of it a few weeks. I'm not quite old enough to know for sure.
The only word for this is AWESOME! Loved it.
Nothing is better than a life well lived.
VERY BEAUTIFUL and also Heidi's music , dog's and Mustang... and FRENCHTASTIC in the snow.
Spectacular opening scenes. Reminded me of America the Beautiful:
...Beautiful for spacious skies...
....for purple mountain majesties...
...America, God shed his grace on thee....
...from sea to shining sea...
I’m not an emotional person but I got emotional when I first walked up to the edge. It’s just so overwhelming. Pictures just don’t capture the magnitude of this place. It’s an amazing sight.
When I was there we got to watch the sheep climb the canyon. We had one climb out of the canyon right in front of us!
You need to see the Sequoia's and the costal redwoods. Next time.
Your photography did our state justice. Thanks for visiting.
El Mirage, Arizona
Marie, you are clearly not afraid of heights! Dancing on top the rock is one thing, but being so close to an edge
with a big drop is something else. Especially when there is snow and ice on the ground. 😧 🌄🇫🇷🇺🇸
This is the one I was waiting for. The Grand Canyon is just magnificent and massively long and deep. You seemed very happy to be there!
Bonjour Marie! March 27 was my Mom's 81st birthday, so I'm glad that you got to experience something so awesome on that same day! Loved this video. J'adore les deux chiens! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed
Welcome Miss Marie !!! To one of America "s national treasures
The like button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎 so far so good Deer & Horse's wait til you get a load of the Bison.
Note Keep your Distance Bison have Been known to be unpredictable & Dangerous !!! 🥴🤕
Remember to keep a weather eye out for flash floods !!!
Marie, I was waiting for this video since your video from Sedona AZ. You were too close to the Grand Canyon to not visit even if only a few hours. I'm 64 years old and seen many pictures and videos of the Grand Canyon. Like others I've seen your pictures are beautiful. My family was fortunate enough to visit Sedona, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon a few years back, pictures don't do it justice, it is far more beautiful than the pictures suggest. For those who haven't seen it up close, if possible, make the time to visit.
My wife and I are visiting Yosemite National Park in California in a few weeks. So looking forward to the park and the sequoias and red woods in the area.
Bonjour sweet Marie, even though I've never been to the Grand Canyon, thanks to you I feel like now I have been. Really spectacular footage.
Your affinity for animals says a lot of good about you. Glad you kept your distance from the elk though; they can turn on you. We want our girl to be safe.
The Grand Canyon is one of my favorite places on earth. It's beauty and solitude reminds me that the earth will go on as we come and go. We are like the leaves on the trees, here for a short while then we fall to the ground, but the canyon will endure. Go see the General Sherman Tree in California sometime if you can, it's the largest tree(by volume) in the world. It's 36 feet wide at the base(11 meters) and 275 feet tall
It took me about 8 trips to the Grand Canyon to see elk! That is AWESOME that you saw them on your first trip!
If she were an American she'd have gotten much closer
@@ThatOpalGuy Yes. She was smart and respectful of those elk. Good for her. Weren't the elk magnificent?
Your Joy is our joy…
Been twice. It takes your breath away! So beautiful!!
The horses are mules and they take people to the bottom of the Grand Canyon where there are about 20 cabins. The only other ways to the bottom are an all day 1 way hike and a 5 day raft trip. And some people run to the bottom and back in 1 day. It’s a beautiful ride which I did about 10 years ago. We stayed 1 night. It is 20 to 30 degrees hotter at the bottom.
We were there, one month ago. First time. Saw elk at Mather Point, nearly the exact spot where you were standing. Second week of May, no snow. The second evening we decided to try sunset photography. Thunderstorms in the area. They broke as we arrived at Mather Point and there was a rainbow. Extended nearly half way into the canyon and was visible for nearly an hour. Pictures of a lifetime. So glad you enjoyed and thank you for the content and time on the channel.
Spectacular, Marie! I'm certain it's the one everyone was waiting for. It's quite an experience. Certainly something which stays with you the rest of your life.
I hope you are well and taking good care!
You did it right. By coming at sun rise you get so see it lit from different angles and thus catch more of its awesome splendor.
O.M.G. Sunrise at the Grand Canyon must be a spiritual experience ❤⚜
Everyone is glad that you had such a good time here. We all think that you're fantastic and wish the best for you
Quite possibly the most beautiful place on earth. As great as pictures look, nothing can compare to seeing the Grand Canyon in person. Another fantastic video Marie. But no riding the wildlife. 🙂
Every time I watch another upload of your Arizona series I get excited and sad, because I was born and raised but no longer live there. I'm excited to see your take on my beautiful home, and sad that I no longer live there. Always looking forward to the next!
My wife and I just finished a 4500 mile loop around the western states and I was thinking of you and wishing you could have been seeing the things we were seeing. You have so much more to see here!
Oh on a different note. My wife and I are planning a trip to Niagara Falls and I went and look up the hotel you told me about. THANK YOU ! It is going to be perfect. I wouldn't have known about it without your video and then responding to tell me which one. Thank you again !!!
another outstanding vid, Marie !!!
Another awesome AZ video. Thanks, Marie. Really hope you're loving it there.
Sunrise coffee at the Grand Canyon. What a great life!
Hi Marie!!! I have always wanted to see The Grand Canyon, and now I have, thanks to FrenchTastic - thank you Marie 🥰🥰! At least you were dressed warmly for the -10 degrees you met at the Canyon - brrrrr 🥶🥶 ! And my, oh my, you had such a big beautiful smile as you first saw the Canyon 😊! There was so much snow, due to the high elevation of where you were visiting, and the sunrise view over the Canyon was truly breathtaking 🤗🤗 . Looking across the Canyon you see so many colors like red, purple, orange, shades of brown, deep green, light gray and gray, and the blue of the river - amazing and lovely. Coffee on top of the Grand Canyon is a pleasure to remember 🥰. The flat top of the viewing points you were filming were so cool for looking down into the mile deep Canyon! Love those names (Yavapai Observation Station and Bright Angel Lodge) and those cute horses you found! The snow on the ledges that lead down the canyon was really decorative (you visited it at a Grand time} 😍! The absolute best sign you filmed was "FrenchTastic 🥰" in the snow ("this is where I jump" lol 😮😮😂😂) ! The dogs were sleepy early in the morning it looks like, but they really got going in their cute warm coats later on! The Rim Trail on the Canyon's South Rim was perfect to bus along. Oh Marie, how fun and wonderful to encounter the elks (so many!), and the BEST was you and the beautiful elk looking at each other (the elk was smiling at this lovely FrenchTastic lady visiting the park 🤗🤗) Wow, when the sun rose more, you could see clearly even a larger range of pretty colors on layer upon layer of water-formed canyon sides, along with the Colorado River below. The ride you went along showed so many snow- covered mountains along the way. Then you did get to hike that Red Mountain Trail in the Coconino National Forest, and that was really intriguing that the footing was so difficult to climb on! (Awwhhhhh, I am SO SORRY that you caught a 3-week cold 😥😥) As you filmed those pillars together, reaching toward the top of the Canyon, with all their layers and pointed tops, we could see how smooth the rocks became from that carving water flow that created them - wow 😲😲❗That was also so cool to see that boulder balanced in place on top of those two peak points ! All those formations you showed us were glorious to see, as was watching you enjoying the immensity and beauty as you visited the one and only Grand Canyon, with your FrenchTastic smile and grace and commentary in your fabulous video 🤗🤗😍😍! Thank you so much again, Marie, and take care and be safe everyday, please, 🙏🙏😇😇🥰🥰.
The Grand Canyon is definitely awe inspiring, and worth a visit...but not gonna lie. After a few hours I started to miss Vegas. I'm from a rural-ish city in N. California...so the bright lights of the city felt like a bigger change-up to me.
I have lived in Arizona for 36 years now and I love it what a beautiful state. Happy you have enjoyed your visit here.
I live in Louisiana and have been to every part of this country except the Pacific North West and the South West (except for boot camp in San Diego) I need to get out there.
@@davidroques9187 you should definitely put it on your bucket list. Semper Fi!
It's great that you saw the Grand Canyon in person. Pictures don't do it justice. You have to be there to experience the majestic scope.
Hello Marie! Amazing video as i have never been to the Grand Canyon. Love the wildlife, and the scenery!
Not to brag, but your comment about the chill, -10; that is when we northerners start wearing pants instead of shorts. We are a special bunch!
I always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon! I'm sure it looks so much more amazing in person. Thanks for sharing your adventures and it was so nice to see the sun rise.
I lived in Arizona for 19 years and have been there multiple times with family and visitors and it never gets old.
Oh wow u got to see it its an amazing place. When I was 7 my parents rented a cabin for a couple of nights .u open the front door and there it is the Grand Caynon, I will never forget it🤠❤️
Wow. Happy that you got to see the Grand Canyon. Im glad you are getting to see so much of Arizona. Looks like you are really enjoying your visit.😊
You have got to see way more than most who live here. I am glad to go on this journey with you, as most of these places I have never been to myself and will never be able to. I have seen the Grande Canyon many times in the movies, but never from the views you are showing. Thank you so much for sharing your ventures with us all Marie.
That is something you can see pictures and videos of, but it's not the same as standing on the rim. It is truly spectacular.
It always brings back memories of my childhood it still looks the same except for all the safety fences I'm so happy that you came to Arizona and that you enjoyed your self great video 👍until you're next episode 😀
I'm so happy you got to expereince Northern Arizona and, of course, the Grand Canyon! Once again your camera work was impeccable! (Sorry you caught a cold!)
Such a beautiful and fascinating video.
I've been there many years ago. It is amazing what nature can do. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve.
Another amazing video. So happy you are having such a great time. Please be safe and enjoy yourself.
Hi Marie I love going to the grand canyon. I see you loved it as well. Beautiful video and pictures. Can't wait for the next one.
Never seen a sunrise there, but the buses go in before sunset so you can stop at one of their pull outs and watch the sunset. It was amazing. I got some beautiful pictures right before the sun went down. As others have said you can't really appreciate the magnitude and beauty of the Grand Canyon until you see it in person. Glad you got that opportunity.
Hi Marie, you said on your video that you are very lucky and fortunate. That is so true and just noticing that you probably have done more in the short years that you have lived in many people do in their entire life! The Grand Canyon is beautiful. I rafted half of it many years ago, all the way down to the Bright Angel Lodge. It took about eight or nine days to get there on a boat down the Colorado river but I will never forget it. I’m glad you’re enjoying the beauty of the far west USA. Great video!
Great Video . The Grand Canyon is definitely one of those places that you can only grasp the vastness of it by being there . . It's crazy . . Glad you got to see it.😎
Never realized how big the Grand Canyon was until you see actual footage of it. It's not like in the movies. Spectacular views! Thank you for the experience! I bet the 3-week cold was worth it in the end! 🥶🤧🌞🌵🦌🐴
The Grand Canyon is amazing. I need to go visit it again. Another great reaction.
If you want to see the Grand Canyon again from a different angle, there is a helicopter tour that starts and ends in Las Vegas. Not only do you get to see it from the air, but the tour also lands on the floor of the Grand Canyon where you get to eat lunch (sandwiches and sparkling white wine). I don't know if you are at all interested in Las Vegas, but if you do end up going there to visit, you might want to look into this helicopter tour.
The Canyon is a lot of fun and a really special place, being a native Arizonan my family has camped there many times and we always have enjoyed it. My wife and daughter have made the hike down from the south rim and camped down below, they loved it. The elk there are so used to humans, it's scares me as those are big animals and they can get nasty, I have seen a lot of people go up to them, but none hurt yet but it still is concerning. Give them a little space, especially mother's with babies.
You seem big into the out doors and hiking and new things. If so, I would recommend the hike up the ranger station on Escudilla mountain in eastern Arizona. It's about 2 miles each way, but obviously going up at 10,000 feet is much harder than going down, but when you reach the top, it's spectacular. Lot's of wildlife as it's a "wilderness area", bears, mountain lion and my parents personally saw a Jaguar up there, they almost hit it when it ran out in front of their vehicle. They were a little shocked to say the least, so take precautions if you go and make sure you are in a group.
Now you can scratch the Grand Canyon off your bucket list. Good choice to go in the morning. Better light for photography and fewer people.
Stunning scenery and cute doggies!
ummm, pack mules not horses, but they are cute in their own way. What is hard to grasp at the canyon is how far away things are. It can be several miles across at places and thousands of feet deep with it's own weather storms below the top plain.
good choice to see the canyon at daybreak. You are becoming quite the cinematographer. The video was excellent! Thank you!
Thanks for the visit
Just beautiful
❤❤❤ Well done, Marie. There is no successful trip to Arizona without getting to The Canyon. As a kid, I thought I might be afraid of heights. Turns out I'm not. And you know it's deep when they tell you that tiny Colorado River at the bottom is 100 meters wide. Someday, I hope to make it to the bottom. We'll see. So much beautiful scenery. And now that I think of it, it's probably much more comfortable in March as opposed to July. Treasure these memories, babe. That's another curly W.
those were mules. Horse/donkey mix. Very sure footed and calm compared to a horse. That way you don't fall off a cliff when you ride them down to the bottom of the canyon.
All the beauty - and the canyon looked good too - what I was focused on was the puppers were on the visit too.
Wow! That was scary, Marie! You were standing right on the edge and could've fallen in. I guess they couldn't put a fence around the entire canyon. Also scary was when you followed the dogs into that tight path within the rocks. I thought you would get lost forever and never find your way out! :)
Glad you got to see Grand Canyon! Now come to Idaho to grand Teton parks and Yellowstone!
Never knew it got so cold at the Grand Canyon. Great job capturing it's beauty.
There is another canyon in northern Arizona that a lot of folks have never heard of.
Just under 100 miles SSE of Monument Valley lies Canyon de Chelly, pronounced de shay. It is rather different from the Grand Canyon, a bit of a cross between being an incredible canyon with a dash of monumental rock formations thrown in.
We were going to go there on our tour of northern AZ; Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, Oak Creek Canyon/Slide Rock, Sedona then home, but we spent more time in a few places than we planned on.
Yes indeed. Been to Canyon de Chelly and it was amazing. Located in the Navajo Nation, and parts of the canyon floor are still being farmed (for thousands of years). There are also a few ancient house ruins that were built into the canyon walls. Of course not as deep or wide as GC, but the walls are more sheer. Standing near edge with the floor ~900 feet straight down will put your heart in your throat in a way that even the GC didn't do.
I'll never get to travel to the Grand Canyon so to see it through your video was amazing! I also love those pups of yours. They have such good manners waiting for you every few feet. lol They look like they needed the sleep after that hike. It's too bad you caught such a long lasting cold but I'm glad you got to see such amazing things. Thank you for the video.
So different but in the same state. Beautiful but so sorry you got sick for 3 weeks. That sucks.🌵🌵
So amazingly beautiful it almost looks fake. Thank you Marie for the video. Stay well and be safe.
I'll never forget the first time I walked up to the rim. I was literally stunned.
Another great video ! If you like the Southwest, you will probably like the Badlands of SD !! There is so much to explore and discover here in the USA !!!
The reason it's colder at the Grand Canyon than at Phoenix is the Grand Canyon is at a much higher elevation. My wife and I drove from Tucson to the Grand Canyon and watched the landscape change as the elevation changed.
I now feel complete.
Marie I am so happy you got to see the spectacular Grand Canyon, one of the 7 wonders of the modern world. Sorry you got a cold. Now you know Arizona is not just desert. Hope you enjoyed your stay and come back again to explore other amazing places in the USA. Merci beaucoup.
Thanks for sharing... haven't been out there for years. Good to see some it again.
I remember driving to Grand Canyon from Scottsdale to Flagstaff. I nearly froze in Flagstaff.
Marie, did you happen to take a walk down either of the trails that goes down into the canyon? It is about 6 miles down to the water on the South Kaibab trail and probably about 9 miles down via the Bright Angel trail. The view from inside the canyon gives you an entirely new and different perspective. If you didn't do it this time make plans to do at least part of it on your next visit to the Grand Canyon.
Next time for sure 😇
I’m glad she got to show that Arizona is more than desert. We have trees and snow too
I was wondering when youbwere gonna see the Grand Canyon! Glad you got to experience it!
This is what happens when an ephemeral wash gets on steroids. Just kidding, the river is not an ephemeral wash. Welcome to our greatest erosional feature! And, one of the places any tourist to the US should visit! In college, I went down and up in one day with a full pack (expecting to camp at the bottom). I don't recommend that. Peace, Love!!
I have only been to the Grand Canyon once. It is simply amazing. Gave me goosebumps. Another wonderful time watching. 😀
My daughters, their mom and I have been to Grand Canyon many times in last 30 years... Weve hiked the rim at different points and taken the train from Williams ... Many great family memories... Enjoyed your trip and comments. Arizona is a great state full of awesome places. Thank you Mary❤
I just love this channel. So many fun adventures and beautiful sites!
It’s a sight to be seen 🤘🤘
Howdy Marie, If you are still in PHX, I recommend you go east to Superior, and see Boyce Thompson Arboretum. It is a park, at the bottom of a spectacular mountain that has trails thru various desert environments from around the world. The plants and scenery are beautiful, but the wild life is the main draw. I recommend being there when they open at 6am. The hiking is easy, but you will get to see some wild life up close.
Thanks for sharing your travels ❤
What a beautiful place! So glad you were able to see it. That snow was incredible too - I didn't realize that happened there! (I did laugh when I saw you with about 6 coats on) Amazing elk sightings too! Pretty incredible. Great video! :0) 🐺
That area, from the Grand Canyon down to Flagstaff, is one of the snowiest areas in the country.
Nice to see you went to Red mountain. It's one of my wifes favourite places because she's a geologist and like the entire San Franciso volcanic field. She likes looking for the small black nodules you find eroded out from the rock at Red mountain. I hope one day you get to return and climb to the top of Mt Humphry's. It's a spectacular hike.
