WOW! .... The 2020 pandemic opened my eyes to many different things about life and the world. I am grateful for my new appreciation of nature. There are many beautiful places in the world. It's great to get out and visit special places such as Cañon Blanco. Beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! Just be careful when venturing through the canyon. I would not bring children here though but to each his own.
