Grand Canyon Railway

Governor Hogan, I heard about the Purple Line proposal that has been circulating for awhile now. After doing more research, I have concluded that I do not believe that we should build the new light rail because of the impact that it will have on the environment, the businesses in the new area, and the expenses. As you may know, the construction of the new Purple Line will cause damage to Rock Creek Park and the Capital Crescent Trail. The Purple Line would displace the current Capital…

was going to be one exhilarating trip. The itinerary for the next day was to drive through Glenwood Canyon to Aspen, Colorado. The drive through Glenwood Canyon was epic.

Lorenzo pulled on his striped shirt and ridiculous hat. Being a gondolier was not exactly what he had planned on doing with his life, but he needed the money. If it was not for how well he was being paid he would not be rowing starry eyed tourists down the canals. Jobs like Lorenzo’s are not the only benefits to tourism. Jobs and economic revenue from tourism are extremely high, and it allows people to see different sites in the world. Without tourism there would be a lot less economically…
