by Rodallega, Sep 22, 2008

Here are the marvels of nature. You should see all of those beauties before you die.

Last year, I was in USA to take a journey to the beautiful nature of canyons. During my journey, I took many photos, met a lot photographers, adventurers and volunteers of protecting natural life. Before this experience, I had only seen Avgan Canyon in Usak Region in Turkey. I decided to write about canyons because their beauty attracted me somehow.

Where's the Columbia River George?

Christ, chill out. The article doesn't say that they are the only 5 nor even that they are the absolute best 5. Just 5 that you should really see. Just because your pet canyon didn't make the list doesn't mean you need to be an ass about it. Get a grip.

don't forget the Canon del Colca in Peru!

Colca Canyon is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru. It is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Arequipa. It is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States. However, the canyon's walls are not as vertical as those of the Grand Canyon. The Cotahuasi Canyon to the northwest is a deeper canyon at 11,488 ft (3,501 m). Since they are such major features of the landscape, the Colca and Cotahuasi canyons are both easily recognizable in even low-resolution satellite photos of the region

well. i finished looking at the pictures and I don't understand why I had to see them, but I've seen them now. yay for trenches

These are obviously the canyons that are off limits to the dead and undead. All those other canyons you can visit after you're dead.

Have you ever seen a zombie in Avon Gorge?

Didn't think so.

Columbia River George, on the other hand; he's a well known zombie, known to haunt kayakers from his surf board with its single black sail. Spooky.

Nice photos and cool article. I have only been to the Grand Canyon, my family drove cross country from NY to California. I was only five years old, not even old enough to know what it meant to catch a cramp in my legs. I would only do that at 40 in an RV. Love this article; it brought me back to my childhood...
