The Grand Canyon, United States
wow is funtastis i when we can go to this place???
A steep gorge by the Colorado River, Arizona in the United States,
the Grand Canyon has some truly enjoyable scenery. It is 277 miles in
length, 4 to 18 miles in width, and about a mile deep. Scientists
believe that the canyon was created by the Colorado River over a six
million year period.
Native Americans built settlements in the caves within the canyon
before the emigration of Europeans. It was also considered to be a site
of pilgrimage by the Pueblo people. The first recorded visit to the
Grand Canyon by the Europeans was in 1869. Although it is not the
deepest canyon in the world, it is known for its extremely large size
and beautifully intricate landscape.
The Grand Canyon National Park is
said to be one of the first national parks in the United States and it
attracts more than five million visitors a year. Weather conditions in
the Grand Canyon vary greatly between seasons as well as varying at
different elevations. While winter snow is experienced by the higher
forested rims, the inner gorge has a desert temperature because of the
low elevation.
