The Grand Canyon National Park has long been a must-see destination given the fact that it is home to a geographical and world renown marvel. Given its immense size, the Grand Canyon is a visually inspiring and powerful landscape. More than its aesthetic intrigue, however, the history of this location and the process by which it was formed have attracted numerous visitors throughout the years.
Spanning more than 277 river miles, this canyon features many geologic forms and colors. The wildlife is surprisingly diverse and travelers can often get an up-close experience with many different land and water animals when taking guided tours. It is a full mile deep and approximately 18 miles wide.
It was not until 1919 that National Park status was achieved for this location. Prior to this it was recorded as a National Monument and a Forest Reserve. Now, however, as many as 5 million people visit this park on an annual basis, making it a major attraction for both nationals and international visitors.
There are over 4,300 archaeological discoveries that have been made here, however, this accounts for only 5% of the available land which is all that has been officially surveyed. Some of the archaeological finds are believed to be as much as 12,000 years old and thus, they lend greater understanding of the history and people of the western world, both before and after recorded history. There are 11 tribes traditionally associated with the park and these groups take part in the preservation and maintenance as part of their own cultural preservation.
For hiking enthusiasts, there are two main trails that serve as superhighways through this park. These are the South Kaibab trail and the Bright Angel trail. These offer rough terrain, however, given the fact that there is no shade and therefore no respite from the heat. Thus, novice hikers are advice to take special heed to warnings on recommendations for gear and all hikers should attempt to carry a minimum of two quarts of water. Those who are up for the trek will find either trail to be a visually spectacular and highly informative journey.
Both the North and South rims of the canyon offer plenty for viewers to see. The South Rims is best know for its sights given that it is often featured on postcards and in movies as well as via other forms of media. The North Rim, however, proves just as interesting and thus, travelers will usually choose their paths based upon their starting locations and the amount of time that they have for exploring. Moreover, exploration methods can vary quite a bit as well.
Boating tours are a popular option for people who want a more leisurely experience. These usually start at the South Rim and carry on for about fifteen miles. Midway to the finish travelers are treated to a picnic lunch on the banks of the river and can even venture in for an afternoon swim.
Other people are investing in helicopter tours of the Grand Canyon. While this is certainly a less hands on approach it affords consumers the benefit of getting an aerial view, which is often the only way to truly take in the sheer immensity of this structure. These are perfect for Las Vegas visitors who wish to part their time between indulging in the fun on the strip and learning more about the geography and history of this world wonder.
