Brief of the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon National Park is located upon the land of Arizona. The South Rim and North Ring are the developed areas within the park and they are both located as part of the primary gateway communities to Grand Canyon National Park including Jacob Lake, Marble Canyon, Page, Cameron, Flagstaff, Jacob Lake, Tusayan and Williams. These communities are generalised for having rural populations, low per capita wages and higher unemployment rates. The Grand Canyon is one of the world’s greatest natural wonders as it exhibits innumerable varieties of sensations at the canyon rim, the canyon subtitles charm of creeks and streams which supply travellers with satisfaction. The raging sides of the mighty Colorado River reveal the desert's beauty of the Tonto plateau. The Canyon displays all natural beauties from 3000 foot cliffs to spring wildflowers, bighorn sheep and ancient artefacts. It also features the oldest rocks called the Vishnu Schist and the shortest river known as the Thunder River, and not to mention the stunning waterfalls!
