Everyone’s heard of the Grand Canyon, with its bands of layered red rocks, large eroded walls, and striking lookout spots perfect for watching sunrises and sunsets. In fact, this Arizonian landmark is considered to be one of the Wonders of the World due to its incredible, picturesque beauty, and intense, yet alien, creation.
We’re certain experiencing the Grand Canyon is scribbled somewhere on your bucket list, and with the help of cancer support organisation Macmillan, you’ll be able to tick it off very, very soon. All you have to do is sign up, sponsor your travels, and raise money for the charity. Simple, right?
Then, you’ll be transported through intense landscapes with incredible rustic colours, witness mind-blowing rock formations, all while discovering creeks and iridescent waterfalls perfect for a cooling-down dip. Your excursion will then end in style, as you celebrate your success in the energetic city of Las Vegas.
