Located in northwestern Arizona, the Grand Canyon is a natural wonder everyone should see. Widely considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the canyon, stretches an impressive 227 miles long and averages over ten miles wide. The Canyon's inner-depths expose the Earth's history with rocks dating back 250 million years to 2 billion years old. Originally home to Native Americans, the Grand Canyon is now one of America's premier National Parks and a popular destination for hiking, rafting, climbing and canyoneering. Sitting on the rim of the sedonacanyon at sunset as the sky turns from blue to orange to deep red, is an majestic sight to behold. (Approximately 4-5 hour drive from The Rocks)
