The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park, the 15th national park in the United States. Although first afforded Federal protection in 1893 as a Forest Reserve and later as a National Monument, Grand Canyon did not achieve National Park status until 1919, three years after the creation of the National Park Service. Today Grand Canyon National Park receives close to five million visitors each year – a far cry from the annual visitation of 44,173 which the park received in 1919.
Beautiful shot! I am glad you enjoyed your visit! I have still never been to the Grand Canyon and I grew up in SoCal! I was in London this weekend so should be posting shots tomorrow and the rest of the week. Nice blog my friend!
Incredible panoramic Ben! I’d love to spend a few weeks in the southwes.
