Pin #188: Grand Canyon 1993


I bought this pin during my very first visit to the Grand Canyon in the summer of 1993.  It even looks a lot older than my other Grand Canyon pins.  I like how defined the colors are on this pin.  It's very exaggerated compared to the actual canyon, but it makes the pin pop.  This pin also reminds me of my failed attempt to become a Junior Ranger during this trip.  My cousins and I participated in the program and we had a list of tasks to perform and then return to the visitor center to get our badge.  Well, we ended up completing all of the tasks, but not in time, and by the time we made it back to the visitor center, it was closed.  That was unfortunate.  But it was still a fun trip.
