Description

Beautiful View of Grand Canyon is from Grand Canyon National Park, South Rim, Arizona by: Ivete Basso Photography.

Grand Canyon National Park is a gift presented to us. Our responsibility as good stewards is to pass on this gift, pristine and preserved, to future generations.

Grand Canyon one of Earth's most powerful, inspiring landscapes. Its story tells of geologic processes played out over unimaginable time spans as a unique combination of size, color, and dazzling erosional forms: 277 miles (446 Km) long, up to 18 miles (29 Km) wide, and a mile (1.6 Km) deep. Its rugged landscape hosts a fascinating variety of plat and animal communities, from the desert next to the Colorado River deep in the canyon to montane forests atop its North Rim.

Grand Canyon reveals a beautiful sequence of rock layers that serve as windows into time. The carving of the canyons is only the most recent chapter, a geologic blink of an eye, in a long story.

That long story includes rock nearly two billion( 2,000,000,000) years old in the bottom of the canyon, land masses colliding and drifting apart, mountains forming and eroding away, sea levels rising and falling, and relentless forces of moving water.

Several factors make Grand Canyon's geology remarkable. many canyons form as rivers cascade among mountain peaks, but Grand Canyon sits incised into as elevated plateau. The desert landscape exposes the geology to view. It is not hidden under a cloak of vegetation.

The strata revealed preserve a lengthy, although incomplete, record of Earth's history. Take time to pause on the rim and enjoy this work of the ages.

With any questions.
