Description
The colors especially at sunrise and sunset at the Grand Canyon are out-of-this-world gorgeous. My eldest child stated upon visiting for the first time, "Nothing about the the Grand Canyon looks real. It looks like a movie set backdrop." I'd have to agree with him.
Grand Canyon National Park, a World Heritage Site, encompasses 1,218,375 acres and lies on the Colorado Plateau in northwestern Arizona. The land is semi-arid and consists of raised plateaus and structural basins typical of the southwestern United States. Drainage systems have cut deeply through the rock, forming numerous steep-walled canyons. Forests are found at higher elevations while the lower elevations are comprised of a series of desert basins.
