It really is a fantastic idea!
I would love to see the Grand Canyon one day, but Im scared of that too! lol Ill do it because hell, you got to! Im also scared of the falling, that may actually be the bottom line of my fear now that you point it out! The last time we made this trip, which is from Texas to California by the way, we also went to visit a friend in Utah. We went through these crazy mountain areas with the road being cut out in between these HUGE mountains. It was insane! And a tad bit terrifying for me! My mind just didnt comprehend how big those mountains were until we were smack dab in between them at the very bottom on a two lane road with semis driving by us! My mind went blank, couldnt speak and could barely snap a few pictures, none of which were when we were actually sandwiched between the mountains. This is last one I got before I went completely still!
Driving in the mountains there is so much beauty all around you. Just remember those rocks have been sitting there since before man walked this earth, they aren't going to just fall and crush you. Nothing to fear about the mountain around you. Enjoy the views they give you!
Years ago I decided that my fear wouldn't control me and went skydiving with a huge group of friends. I froze at the door when it was time to jump out, everyone said I looked like I was going to either pass out or puke. Then after taking a deep breath I let go and started our fall.
It was one of the scariest moments of my life, yet it was thrilling. I have told my kids that I will take them for their 18th birthday if they are interested. My oldest also has the same fear of heights and is like I was before jumping. After that I can climb a ladder when needed and am ok with a little height. Wouldn't say it cured me by any means, but I am at least not petrified like before.
If you ever have the opportunity to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, go for it! You won't regret the experience and it may help you put your fears in perspective.

Thats a bucket list item for sure! One day... even though I froze just from writing it! lol
Hell I cant even ride roller coasters! But I would definitely like to face that fear and one day I will. Not today, but one day! :D
The mountains were so beautiful! Being from central Texas where its flat as anything except for the random hill, it was quite different to say the least. Driving through it just kinda puts things into perspective. Makes you realize just how little you are in the grand scheme of things. Little ants we are!

We really are like little specs of dust floating around this big planet. The small amount of time we are here is a blink of an eye to the lifecycle of this planet and all we can do is take in as much of it's beauty as possible while we can.
