Review:
Grand Canyon National Park is known throughout the world as the home of the natural wonder of the same name, which is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The iconic canyon, which is often considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, was established as a national park in 1919 and attracts the second-highest number of visitors of any national park today, only behind Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Stunning red, brown, and pink rock layers were carved during Precambrian times by the flow of the majestic Colorado River, providing unparalleled nature photography opportunities. Visitors can stay at a number of area resorts throughout the park's South Rim region, which is known for its family-friendly attractions. On the North Rim (Video), more secluded lodges and campgrounds provide access to stunning overlook points and attractions such as the Yavapai Observation Station.
