The Grand Canyon is located 280 miles outside of Las Vegas which is an average 5 hour drive. The Grand Canyon is vast, magnificent and inarguably beautiful, the Grand Canyon is easily Arizona’s most distinguishable landmark and a natural wonder that you simply have to see to believe. Stretching 277 miles from end to end, steep, rocky walls descend more than a mile to the canyon’s floor, where the wild Colorado River traces a swift course southwest.
You can reach the Grand Canyon from the North and South rim.
The Canyon's western edge, home to beautiful Havasupai Falls and the town of Supai, is also accessible via roads on the Hualapai Indian Reservation. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests that the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time the river has continued to erode the walls to leave the current day configuration. For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in the Hopi Language) a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was Garcia Lopez de Carendas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
Around 5 million people visit the Grand Canyon every year.
You can go on nature and wildlife tours and helicopter tours around the canyon.
