The Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona, is home to much of the immense Grand Canyon, with its layered bands of red rock revealing millions of years of geological history, carved by geologic forces and the Colorado river. The story begins almost two billion years ago with the formation of the igneous and metamorphic rocks of the inner gorge. Over millions of years, different types of sediments were deposited to form the different colored rock layers that we see today. Between 70 and 30 million years ago, through the action of plate tectonics, the whole region was uplifted, resulting in the high and relatively flat Colorado Plateau.
Finally, beginning just 5-6 million years ago, the Colorado River began to carve its way downward. Further erosion by tributary streams led to the canyon’s widening. Erosion by wind water, rainfall, snow freezing and refreezing and other forces of nature are at work slowly deepening and widening the Grand Canyon.
Viewpoints include Mather Point, Yavapai Observation Station and architect Mary Colter’s Lookout Studio and her Desert View Watchtower. Lipan Point, with wide views of the canyon and Colorado River, is a popular, especially at sunrise and sunset. Camping and hiking are also available activities to try
The known human history of the Grand Canyon area stretches back 10,500 years, when the first evidence of human presence in the area is found. Native Americans have inhabited the Grand Canyon and the area now covered by Grand Canyon National Park for at least the last 4,000 of those years. Ancestral Pueblo People along with the Paiute, Cerbat and the Navajo were among the first inhabitants of this beautiful Lands
