Summertime is here, and the time is nigh for a good ole traditional family vacation. Thus, the inspiration for this retro Grand Canyon advertisement. Nowawadays, we scout and scour Instagram and Pinterest for travel inspiration. Nonetheless, the goal is the same as it’s always been: plan a trip the kids will remember for years to come. And what’s more memorable than a trip to the breathtaking Grand Canyon?
This ad from the 1930s comes right out and tells you with a strong call to action backed by an incredible scenic vista. The artwork draws the eye and the couple on the cliff in reminds you: this could be you! With the added bonus of Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon just a short distance away, you’ll get the most out of your trip. Everything about this ad expresses serenity – especially if you travel by the Chicago and North Western Line railway. And don’t you want to experience that yourself?
There is a yearly ultra marathon at the Grand Canyon. The Rim2Rim run is 78 miles long (the length of 3 standard marathons) and lasts a full 24 hours. We’ll still take the train, thanks. Source: Wikipedia.
