Grand Canyon

How could there be a Canyon Week without the Grand Canyon? The answer is, it couldn't
happen.
The Grand Canyon is one of the most celebrated natural wonders in the world. It is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles across and up to 6000 feet deep. The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over the course of 17 million years.
Above is a picture of the Skywalk, a tourist attraction where people walk on a bridge suspended out over the rim. I took a helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas several years ago, that was quite a fun experience.
