Grand Canyon Solo Tour: Cultural Observation

Since entering the national park, I have been hearing a lingual polyglot of conversation drifting through the air. There seem to be several international tour groups here today, from the couple hailing from Amsterdam on the train, to the Frenchman standing in line ahead of me. I have recognized German, Swedish, Japanese, and Indian dialects as well.

We might tend to think of the Grand Canyon as an American tourist attraction, and it truly is an icon of North America, but the majesty of this place draws visitors from all over the world :-)
