The official website says "The Grand Canyon is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It is more than an awe-inspiring view. It is more than a pleasuring ground for those who explore the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River." It is true what they say. It is much more. The Grand Canyon National Park, is a World Heritage Site, and is spread over a million acres and lies on the Colorado Plateau in northwestern Arizona. It is on average over 4000 feet deep, sometimes even over 6000 feet. It is over 277 miles long and 15 miles wide at the widest. These are numbers and as much as they speak of the magnitude, and as much as these photos might reveal, you have no idea how big it is until you see it. Even though the park is supposed to be a semi-arid desert, 5 of the 7 life zones exist here and 3 of the 4 desert types in North America is here. It is home to plants, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fishes. The entire gamut of life can be found here in the Grand Canyon.
