Grand Canyon / by Sherri McEwen

The Little Colorado River Gorge - just outside Grand Canyon Park - sometimes called “Grand Canton East”, in the Navajo Nation.

South Rim Grand Canyon - not the world’s longest or deepest canyon at an average depth of 1 mile (almost 1.5 at its deepest) and 277 miles long (longest and deepest is in Tibet) - not the widest at 18 miles across at its widest (widest is in Australia). USA’s most remote village, Supai, with about 200 residents is at the bottom of the Canyon and gets mail delivered by mule. Grand Canyon became a national park in 1919.
