The Grand Canyon: A U.S. National Hoax?

Today is the 100th Anniversary of Grand Canyon National Park, so I thought I’d write a special post about my time in the park. It can pretty much be summed up in a few words: the Grand Canyon is a hoax. But I’ll expand a bit more…

When I entered Grand Canyon National Park, I couldn’t immediately see much of a view. There were more trees than I thought there would be. Don’t worry; trees are not the hoax. I’m pro trees. I love trees. Trees are not the problem. When driving down the main road in the park, there are several places to park, get out of your car, and take in the “view.” And, as I mentioned, the trees blocked the view until you did get out of your car, so I didn’t see it coming. Then… there it is. The Grand Canyon. A beautiful masterpiece of nature, stretching as far as the eye can see. Or is it…?

Isn’t it funny that that beautiful view is just out of reach? Well, I mean… not just out of reach. They’d like you to think it’s miles and miles of colorfully carved canyon, but you can’t reach out and feel it, now can you? That’s right! Because it’s all a facade. Literally.

No way can a bunch of rock and dirt be that beautiful. But you know what can? A giant image. I don’t know how they made it, maybe they painted it, maybe the aliens carved it out of their alien Beryllium, maybe it’s Maybelline, but there’s no way nature can make that. Which seems more plausible to you: that the earth naturally created a immensely deep canyon that stretches as far as the eye can see, or that THE MAN placed some kind of an optical illusion just out of reach to trick us all into thinking that our land is marvelously beautiful?
