Summary:
There are
canyons
all over the planet, and the
Grand
Canyon
in Arizona is not the biggest. Yet because of the spectacular colors in the rock layers and fascinating formations of boulders, buttes, and mesas, it is known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Starting with a brief overview of how national parks came into being, this book covers all aspects of the
canyon--how
it formed, which early native people lived there, and what varied wildlife can be found there now. A history of the
canyon
's end-to-end exploration in the late 1860s and how the
Grand
Canyon
became such a popular vacation spot (5 million tourists visit every year) round out this informative, easy-to-read account.
