Did you know? Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep, carved over 6 million years by the Colorado River.

Nearly 90% of Grand Canyon visitors never descend below the rim, making backcountry hiking one of the most rewarding ways to experience the park.

The canyon exposes nearly 2 billion years of Earth's geological history, with rock layers visible from the Precambrian era to the Permian period.

The South Rim stays open year-round and sits at 7,000 feet elevation, while the North Rim closes in winter due to heavy snowfall.

Sunrise and sunset at the Grand Canyon can shift the canyon's colours from deep purple to brilliant orange within minutes due to light refraction on the rock faces.

The Havasupai Tribe still lives within the canyon at Supai Village, one of the most remote inhabited places in the continental United States, accessible only by foot, horse, or helicopter.
