There are canyons all over the planet, and the Grand Canyon in Arizona is not the biggest. Yet because of the spectacular colors in the rock layers and fascinating formations of boulders, buttes, and mesas, it is known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Starting with a brief overview of how national parks came into being, this book covers all aspects of the canyon--how it formed, which early native people lived there, and what varied wildlife can be found there now. A history of the canyon's end-to-end exploration in the late 1860s and how the Grand Canyon became such a popular vacation spot (5 million tourists visit every year) round out this informative, easy-to-read account.
A lively yet comprehensive look at the natural & cultural history of the Grand Canyon -- its geology (a trip back in time via time machine to see geologic forces at work), the first people (Anasazi) to inhabit it, explorers & pioneer settlers, early tourists & river runners, & a cross-canyon hike to learn about plants & animals. Colorful illustrations & maps. EXTRAS: timeline (5 million years ago to present), activities suitable for classroom use, annotated reading list, hiking guide & checklist, glossary & index.
