Wonder
Grand Canyon
Vast, magnificent and inarguably beautiful, the Grand Canyon is easily Arizona’s most distinguishable landmark—a natural wonder you must see to believe.
Stretching 277 miles from end to end, its rocky walls descend more than a mile to the canyon’s floor, where the wild Colorado River traces a swift course southwest.
Everyone should see the Grand Canyon at least once in their life. In 2019, the Grand Canyon celebrated its 100th birthday as a national park. If you’ve never been, this First-Timer's Guide to the Grand Canyon will help you plan your visit.
No matter how much time you have, there are plenty of ways to enjoy an adventure or simply take in fantastic views at the Grand Canyon.
