In addition, the southwestern end of the canyon is located within the borders of two Indian reservations: the Havasupai Indian Reservation
and the Hualapai Indian Reservation (also known as Grand Canyon West).
The Grand Canyon is a massive canyon carved over several million years by the Colorado River and is an overwhelming experience, and nothing
can prepare a visitor for the sight.
Grand Canyon National Park boasts an elevation change of nearly 7,000 feet (2130 m) from Point Imperial (at nearly 9,000 feet or 2740 m) to
the banks of Lake Mead (at just over 2,000 feet or 610 m). The canyon itself is, from rim to river over a mile (1610 m) deep. In spots
the rock layers exposed in the canyon display over two billion years of geologic history.
The park was founded as Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt, and became a national park in 1919.
Today the park contains over 1.2 million acres (490,000 ha), slightly less than the entire state of Delaware, and in 2004 received more than
4.3 million visitors. The rock layers displayed at Grand Canyon show little sign of wear. The layers have been preserved almost
perfectly, as though they were layers in a cake. Nowhere else on Earth displays so many volumes of the planet's history in such pristine
condition. The resulting landscape provides visitors with some of the most magnificent and unsurpassed vistas on the planet. |
