   Okay, but it is NOT even a very close "second" is it?   That's a huge   
   difference   
   in size, length, and depth and width.   
      
   I've been told by an Albuquerque friend that when he goes to Grand Canyon,   
   he   
   does not go into the Natl Park, but drives further west and gets in there.   
   Does   
   that sound vaguely possible?
