From the publisher:
Sculpted by the Colorado River, stretching 278 miles long and 1 mile deep, the Grand Canyon is without a doubt one of the most incredible examples of erosion on earth. First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve and later a national monument, the Grand Canyon eventually became a national park in 1919.
Sixty years later, in 1979, the Grand Canyon was recognized as a World Heritage Site for its geologic significance, natural beauty, biological environments and diverse topography. One of the seven wonders of the natural world, the Grand Canyon is truly a bucket-list stop. This spectacular wilderness with endless cliffs and canyons, varying biodiversity and unique geologic features has something for everyone.
