Grand Canyon National Park
The park is dominated by the spectacular Grand Canyon: a twisting, 1.5 km deep and 445.8 km long gorge, formed during some 6 million years of geological activity and erosion by the Colorado River on the raised Earth's crust. It divides the park into the North Rim and South Rim which overlook the 200 m to 30 km wide canyon; the buttes, spires, mesas and temples in the canyon are in fact mountains looked down upon from the rims.
Created a national park on 26 February 1919 by an act of Congress. First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve in which mining, lumbering and hunting continued to be allowed; upgraded to a game reserve in 1906, giving protection to the wildlife; redesignated a national monument in 1908.
Accepted as a World Heritage site on 24 October 1979.
I choosed this placd, because its a giantic natural park, and its amazing. I would like to visit it because its so big, when you stay in front of it, you will feel very small.
Its amazing that a place like that is still conserved, and transformed in a natural park for tourists.
I think in this place you the best view you ever will have.
