Hey everyone,
My names Oliver and I'm a cinema major. I'm from Mount Vernon, IA, a very small town about a half hour from Iowa City. I really enjoyed the trip I took with my family last summer to the Grand Canyon. Nothing anyone told me could've prepared me for the overwhelming beauty of the park. My favorite memory while I was there was when I woke up early to get coffee and watch the sunrise from the rim of the canyon with the rest of my family. At that time in the morning, the park is so quiet that the only sounds you can hear are the birds and the wind.
