Grand Canyon National Park is a national treasure of the United States and one of the most stunning examples of the natural landscape of the Southwest. The canyon has steep sides that lead down to the Colorado River and it has been inhabited for thousands of years by various Native American groups, including the Pueblo people, who considered the canyon to be a religious site.
One of the canyon's most beautiful features is the view of its many colored layers, which formed over time through geological erosion. Each layer represents a different age in the life of the stone. Grand Canyon National Park is a popular weekend destination.
