I got back Thursday evening from a four day sojourn to the Grand Canyon. As I believe I've mentioned before, I work on a film crew, so this was actually a work trip. We were filming for a tourism campaign for the Hualapai tribe, whose reservation covers a portion of the canyon labelled as "Grand Canyon West". Some of the highlights of the trip were:
-watching the sun rise over the Grand Canyon
-walking on the Skywalk (a glass walkway that extends 70 feet over the edge of a 2000-foot drop)
-hanging out with a guy named Longfeather who could be the John Candy of the Hualapai indians
-whitewater rafting down the Colorado river with a helmet cam
-driving a truck while the passengers piloted a flying camera drone to get moving footage of a tour bus
-meeting and watching a very talented and friendly close-up magician named Mark Crowe
-flying over the canyon in a helicopter
-attempting a big-eater challenge in the hotel restaurant (I failed but I got a shirt)
