We are very excited to announce that we are going to make the Grand Canyon episode a 3 part episode just because there was so much history and mysteries.

So in this first episode we’ll start with the usual stuff like how big it is, deaths per year, things like that. Then we’ll jump into the History of it, including 2 crazy plane crashes that happened and end with a heart warming yet intense story of two brothers and their photography business.
