About Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park in northern Arizona protects the Colorado River's vast gorge, over a mile deep, its layered red rock stretching to the horizon.

The Colorado River has cut the Grand Canyon over millions of years, exposing layers of rock that span nearly two billion years. The canyon is about 446 kilometres long, up to 29 kilometres wide and more than 1.8 kilometres deep. The South Rim, at about 2,100 metres, has viewpoints such as Mather Point, Yavapai Point and the Desert View Watchtower, a stone tower designed by Mary Colter in 1932.

Top-ranked sights in Grand Canyon National Park: Eagle Point, Guano Point, Cameron Trading Post.
