GRAND CANYON is simply a wonder! Recognized as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and one of America’s most beloved national parks, it unfolds across northern Arizona, carved by the Colorado River and connected to canyon country reaching toward Utah and Colorado. Sacred to 11 Tribal Nations, this ancient landscape changes with every season—snow-softened in winter, awakened in spring, sunlit in summer and golden in fall. Grand Canyon is more than a destination. It is a place to return to, again and again. There’s so much to love…

Travel through billions of years of geologic history. Follow the landscape east toward Desert View. Then, if you are prepared, step below the rim and into the canyon itself. Here are five extraordinary ways to experience the Grand Canyon outdoors. Stargaze Under a Dark Desert Sky When daylight f

Love National Parks? You Have This Man to Thank

The millionaire who understood that before you can save a beautiful place, you have to make people fall in love with it. Stand at Mather Point on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and it is easy to understand why millions of people come here.
