US-Mexico Trip - Mexico's Copper Canyon


when we lived in tucson a few hundred miles away, we talked about coming down here to check out this rival to the grand canyon but never did.  ironically, now that we live in Oz (about 8,000 miles away) we finally got around to it.  although i prefer the grand canyon for its arid beauty and light this was still worth the visit for the views and the copper canyon train trip through the valleys.
