The Grand Canyon

"Mountains of music swell in the rivers, hills of music billow in the creeks, and the meadows of music murmur in the rills that ripple over the rocks, while other melodies are heard in the gorges of the lateral canyons. The Grand Canyon is a land of song."

-John Wesley Powell

I found this while looking through the book, Down the Colorado, by John Wesley Powell and Eliot Porter. I've never been to the Grand Canyon but I have always wanted to go. When I read this quote by Powel it made me want to go even more. When he calls it a land of song and uses such great description who wouldn't want to see what he's talking about.
