Grand Canyon


Hi everyone! My name is Carolina Gomez and I am a first year student at the University of Colorado Denver. I am an undergrad student seeking to major in Psychology. I have no children and no pets, but I do have a husband who I would at times like to categorize as a child. I can say that about him because we’re married and because he knows that I make fun of only those that I love. Outside of psychology, I enjoy many things.  Two of my most favorite things to do on earth, besides read (yes I’m a nerd) is travel, and spend time with the people I love. As I thought about a geographical location to explore, I decided that making the location personal would only encourage my research and so I chose the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. A few years back I took a road trip from Denver to Sedona, Arizona with one of my greatest friends. While there, we of course could not pass on the opportunity to go out and see the amazing and humbling landscape that is the Grand Canyon.
I used the word humbling to describe the Grand Canyon because that is exactly how I felt as I stood in awe and wonder staring into the vastness of the canyon. I felt smaller than an ant as I tried to take in the canyon’s enormity. I was also fascinated by the history of the Grand Canyon. Clearly this geological feature didn’t spring up overnight, and the processes that lead to its current formation is what I hope to explore as I undertake my first ever blogging experience. Hope you all enjoy learning about the Grand Canyon with me.
