My husband, Robert Maldonado, took these pictures on our honeymoon earlier this month. We are both physicians in training; it was also our vacation in almost three years. COVID has been a tough time, especially challenging when you deal with it every day and carry on that burden every day with you.
When we first reached the north rim and walked down the bright angel path, the views were a sight to behold. So magnificent, so unworldly, so beautiful and so overwhelming.
It was a moment that made us take a deep breath finally and feel peace. In those grand canyons, our problems and struggles seem so meek.
For us, it has been the most beautiful thing we have ever seen and which holds immense power to make you feel at peace.
We finally bid farewell and took our journey to the Archways. Below is a captured scene from the fiery furnace.
