Grand Canyon Walking Tour
Grand Canyon, United States
Why Walk Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon stretches 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep. Its layered bands of colorful rock reveal nearly two billion years of geological history. The South Rim, at 7,000 feet elevation, is the most accessible and offers dozens of viewpoints connected by the Rim Trail. The Colorado River, 5,000 feet below, continues to carve the canyon today.
