Ive only ever heard what a sight the grand canyon is but perhaps I was a bit skeptical as to how "grand" a crevice in Arizona could really be. I suppose I'll contribute to preexisting word of mouth chatter and reinforce the statement that the grand canyon is indeed "grand." In fact, it's marvelous.
I would stare out into the depths of the canyon and try to understand what I was looking at. I closed my eyes as if to refocus my depth perception of what was in front of me but the same amazement took over when I reopened my eyes. Even after a 12 mile hike to Plateau Point overlooking the Colorado River I still felt a bit overwhelmed at where I was in the world.
I've come to realize that word of mouth is a very solid reason to take part in something. Bike and Build, for instance, attracted me because I had heard so many good things about it. Anybody who knew anybody that did B&B had something good to say about what an adventure it was and how life changing it had been. What it really boils down to is the question, "do I have faith in a strangers opinion? My answer appears to be "yes." it's not to say that I am a follower or that I'm ignorant to believe that strangers know what's best for me. More simply it is the reasoning, marvelous attractions evokes marvelous feedback.
