The Grand Canyon National Park
The Grand Canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and attracts more than 5 million tourists each year – surprisingly, most Arizona natives have never visited the Grand Canyon. Its breathtaking views and overwhelming size is second to none and boasts some of the most majestic scenery found anywhere in the world. The canyon, created over millions of years through erosion by the Colorado River, the canyon is 277 miles long, and at some points, nearly 18 miles wide, and one mile deep. There are a number of ways for visitors to experience this breathtaking wonder: on foot, by mule, or even helicopter.
