The one of the greatest shows in the world. Visiting the Grand Canyon National Park<\/strong> is having before us more than 80 million years of geological history. More than six million recreational visitors travel to Arizona<\/strong> every year to marvel at this open crack in the ground. The Colorado River<\/strong> is still actively eroding its channel today, discovering ever older rocks. It is the second most visited American national park<\/strong><\/span> after the Great Smoky Mountains National Park<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Grand Canyon<\/strong> was designated a UNESCO World Heritage<\/strong> Site in 1979. The park celebrated its centennial on February 26, 2019. The Grand Canyon National Park is 20 miles from the City of Las Vegas.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
