Grand Canyon National Park

Arizona, USA

 

The Grand Canyon was formed over millions of years by the erosion caused by the Colorado River.

 

Check out the formation on the left.

 

The canyon is more than 200 miles long 12 miles wide and a mile deep. The national park is visited by about 6 million people a year. On a clear day, like this one, it is possible to see for 100 miles and the distance across to the North Rim seems to shrink.

There are always visitors at the South Rim of the park, but during the winter season, it is possible to find overlooks with few or no other visitors. One can find a sense of serenity when viewing a scene like this especially when viewing it alone.
