Review:

Grand Canyon National Park was created to protect the vast Grand Canyon, one of the most famous canyons in the world and one of the world’s most visited tourist destination.

Grand Canyon National Park includes all canyons, river tributaries and grounds around them. The steep-sided canyon was carved by the Colorado River and is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and over a mile deep. The park has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Grand Canyon National Park has two public areas: the North and South Rims. At 7,000 feet above sea level, the South Rim is the most accessible part of the park, with many spots where visitors can admire the views. The North Rim is 1,000 feet higher than the southern rim and is not as popular because it is more difficult to access. The trip from one rim to the other can be done by car or on foot, on a donkey or whitewater rafting.
