Grand CanyonIt's universally agreed that no one has ever been able to do justiceto the Grand Canyon, the crown jewel of natural wonders andAmerica's number-one beauty spot. Located 60 miles north of Williamsand 80 miles north of Flagstaff, it lies inside the state of Arizona.For convenience's sake, it is divided into four areas, the South,West, North and East Rims, with most of the activity centred onthe South Rim.The course of history can be tracked through the Canyon's layers.The upper layers of rock, the Kaibab and Toroweap formationsof the Permian Age, were formed around 250 million years ago. Atthe foot of the Inner Corge are some of the oldest exposed rocks onearth — the hard black rocks of the Precambrian Age. The ColoradoRiver began curving its way through the rock between 6 and 25million years ago.The Canyon was first sighted by white people in 1540, when agroup of Spanish soldiers led by Captain Garcia Lopez de Cardenasstumbled across it.
