| About Grand Canyon |
When the Colorado River directed its course to cut through the layers of Earth’s surface, it sculpted the most stunning masterpiece that ever existed….Grand Canyon, the breathtaking gorge holds the power to exhibit billion years of history at a glance. The erosive forces of nature have toiled since the last 6 million years to create this spectacular canyon which runs one mile deep and about 18 miles wide along a 277-mile stretch. The sliced and layered walls of this majestic creation reflect an uncanny charm and provide geological evidence of our planet’s origin.
Originally inhabited by Native Americans, Grand Canyon’s rich geological history and breathtaking views that gives an account of this phenomenal evolution, pulls millions of wanderlusters every year. Native Americans believed the canyon was a path to the land beyond death. For modern geologists, it is a path that leads back to the planet's beginnings.
The Grand Canyon National Park was developed as a tribute to this fantastic wonder of nature. Rims were discovered, trails were established, and the famous Skywalk was constructed to offer once-in-a-lifetime experience to all the visitors who traveled from afar to soak in the beauty of the canyon. The panoramic views which offer awe-inspiring visions of sunsets and sunrises, the distinct dissection of the canyon illuminated by the sparkle of the Colorado River, stretches of layered rock formations that bring out the fascinating hues of orange, tan, and red….Grand Canyon is the one natural wonder which has the ability to arouse intense emotions of serenity and spirituality within anybody. Its beauty will continue to fascinate many generations to come!
“To stand upon the edge of this stupendous gorge, as it receives its earliest greeting from the god of day, is to enjoy in a moment compensation for long years of ordinary uneventful life.” John L. Stoddard |
