Grand Canyon National Park

About Grand Canyon National Park

The Grand Canyon is a large gorge carved into the rocks of the Colorado Plateau over thousands of years. But more than an awe-inspiring view, the splendor and beauty of this natural wonder in the Rocky Mountains is something special.

Whether you're exploring the streets, hiking the trails, or riding along the currents of the turbulent Colorado River, you'll never feel more comfortable on this terrain. The gorge is a gift that goes beyond the experience - it is an experience in itself.

Humble yourself in its beauty and greatness and provoke timelessness in comparison to your short existence. In its vast space you may find the comfort of a hectic life, but in the depth of the gorge you are humbled by the beauty of its grandeur.

The Grand Canyon you visit today is a gift to past generations, so please take the time to enjoy this gift for yourself.

Walk along the paths, feel the sunshine and wind on your face, observe the changing play of light and shadow and walk along the way.

Listen to the sounds of rapids far from Pima Point and follow the escapades of ravens hovering over the edge.
