We are RV’ing at Grand Canyon National Park right now. It really impresses you with how eternal God is and how short lived we people are. Yet as Jesus said, He knows every hair on our heads.

I have never been there, but the place is beautiful.

Buckeye, I have had the same thoughts while overlooking the Grand Canyon (and while overlooking Crater Lake and the view from the top of Guadalupe Peak and others).

Crater Lake...breathtaking. In Winter, as a kid, I remember we would ascent to the opening and actually climb through a tunnel in the snow to emerge overlooking the beautiful lake and unforgettable island. For a long time the actual depth was so great people were not sure of exactly the deepest place. So Crater Lake is the prettiest lake I have ever seen but my number one vote is a tie between Multnomah Falls (my birth county) and Mount Hood, covered in snow year round. These are hard rankings since the Tetons and Yosemite are majestic. They no longer do it but in the old days they pushed flaming logs over the Yosemite Falls (Glacier point) creating a flaming version of a water fall, only it was fire. Not very environmentally friendly but quite a spectacle. You can find pictures online. And of course the Grand Canyon is one of the wonders of the world.

I’ve probably driven down the Columbia River Gorge twenty times and it never ceases to amaze me. Multnomah Falls is the crown jewel but there are numerous other impressive waterfalls along the route.

Acadia National Park is my spot that refreshes my soul. Something about the constant crashing of the Atlantic on the rocky Maine coastline.

I concur on ALL the locations above - I mentioned Crater Lake specifically because it was so breathtaking that my wife started crying the first time she saw it in person. I love Acadia and the Columbia River Gorge and the Grand Canyon and many, many others as well. It is on my bucket list to visit all the national parks in the contiguous 48 states. And, each of these places have a commonality -- to reference Buckeye's initial post:
"It really impresses you with how eternal God is and how short lived we people are. Yet as Jesus said, He knows every hair on our head"
