The Grand Canyon was truly a wonderful place. I wish we had more time to do some hiking. Although it was January, the weather was quite nice. Wondering where to go on your next vacations? Tell your family you'd like to take them to one of the finest examples of arid-land erosion in the world.The national park website describes the Canyon in the following:
Well known for its geologic significance, the Grand Canyon is one of the most studied geologic landscapes in the world. It offers an excellent record of three of the four eras of geological time, a rich and diverse fossil record, a vast array of geologic features and rock types, and numerous caves containing extensive and significant geological, paleontological, archeological and biological resources. It is considered one of the finest examples of arid-land erosion in the world. The Canyon, incised by the Colorado River, is immense, averaging 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles. It is 6,000 feet deep at its deepest point and 15 miles at its widest.
