As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon shows an impressive display of erosion and mother earth's natural beauty.

The breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon is enjoyable for all who visit.

The Grand Canyon is located entirely in Northern Arizona. It is up to 1 mile (1.6 km) deep, 4-18 miles (6-29 km) wide, and more than 200 miles (320 km) long. Plateaus to the north and south rise 1,520 to 2,740 m (5,000 to 9,000 ft) above sea level, partly as a result of regional uplift, which left the North Rim more than 305m (1,000 ft) higher than the South Rim in places.
