Description
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, is considered one of the seven natural wonders of world and holds the honor of being a World Heritage Site. Visited by five million or more each year it is one of the most visited national parks in the United States.
Six thousand feet deep at its deepest point and up to 18 miles across at its widest, the canyon is immense and colorful with steep canyon walls and jutting mesas. Exposed geologic formations chronicle three of the earth's four eras of geologic history, making the Grand Canyon one of the most studied geologic landscapes in the world and beautiful to the eye.
Carved by the Colorado River over a period of six million years, it is one of the finest examples of arid-land erosion in the world, averaging 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles. It is also one of the most biologically diverse with several major ecosystems that range from coyote willows at the river's edge to hanging gardens along the canyon walls to ponderosa pines along the canyon rims. During the summer, heavy monsoon rains frequent the southwest and both the North and South Rims experience drenching and sudden rains most often accompanied by lightning and booming thunder echoing throughout the canyons.
