About five million people visit Grand Canyon National Park each year and it comes as no surprise why. The main attraction, Grand Canyon, is a mammoth gorge stretching 277 miles showcasing amazing depths of colorful geology. The majestic canyon, an ever-changing display of colors, stretches nearly 280 miles from end to end, is ten miles wide on the average and descends 6,000 feet at its deepest point. Take the scenic East or West Rim drive or descend into the "Inner Canyon" by foot, mule or a raft down the Colorado River, where thrilling rapids are interspersed with calmer waters. Hike down to the Havasupai Falls, where shimmering turquoise water cascades into a crystal pool below. Hiking trails abound and, for the fittest of hikers, the 21-mile rim to rim hike, while grueling in parts, is a rewarding journey. It boasts some of the nation’s cleanest air and a great deal of the park’s 1,904 square miles are maintained as wilderness. Visitors cannot help but be blown away by stunning views from almost any vantage point.
