Grand Canyon National Park information

Cutting into the terrain for an estimated 5 million years, the Colorado River is given the honor of having created the vistas of the Grand Canyon. In addition, wind and rain have also played a part.

It was not until the mid 1850’s that the canyon came under any major interest, although it had been visited for thousands of years by Native Americans, of course. Then, in the course of a few decades, several expeditions were dispatched to the area, some of which were military in nature.
