I have a healthy respect ( fear) for heights.
So my visit to the Canyon’s edge was from many feet away……

The gift shop actually has a window directly overlooking the edge……that was fine enough for me.

This is what, in technical jargon, we call an evolutionary adaptation. The ones without that fear are all extinct.

My wife sat down on the ground twenty feet back from the edge and uttered expletives. She later said, “I got the idea”.

I’ve never been to the GC but I’ve been to the Canyonlands in Utah. My three young kids with me the first time I was there. I didn’t mess around with them. We kept good distances. But even if they weren’t there, there would have been no getting too close.
