Not everybody could or would do that. Having walked through a small bit of the canyon myself, that would have been something to see. That's just the coolest place. Of course, when I was there, they had some kind of storefront that housed a Creationism something or other. They just want to believe it was all gahwuduh and the hard evidence that the process took so many thousands upon thousands of years is just so much propaganda.
