The breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of
the World, is like nothing else you will ever experience. Within its vast
expanse and awesome depth, there is an ever changing panorama or color, from the
first light of day until the sun sets on the distant horizon, concluding the
melodrama until another day. Located entirely in northern Arizona, the Grand
Canyon National Park encompasses 277 miles of the Colorado River and adjacent
uplands. One of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world,
Grand Canyon is unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers to visitors on
the rim. You can experience it by hiking it, camping in it, or mule-back riding
the trails.
Visitors to the Grand Canyon generally fly into Phoenix (approx. 250 miles), Las Vegas (approx. 275 miles) or Flagstaff (approx. 90 miles).
