Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park

One of the world’s natural wonders, the Grand Canyon is one of the most studied geologic landscapes, displaying layers of history from the past 12,000 years. The Grand Canyon is a mile-deep gorge, carved out by the Colorado River over about two billion years.
Visitors to the Grand Canyon hike around and down into the canyon, and stand in awe of its massiveness. The most adventurous and fit hikers can make their way to the bottom of the canyon and stay overnight in Phantom Ranch, before making the return hike the following day. Another way to reach the bottom and to stay in Phantom Ranch is to book the overnight mule ride. Helicopter rides are another fun way to see the Grand Canyon.
