Grand
Canyon - Bryce & Zion National Parks |
At
277 miles long, an average of 10 miles wide and nearly 1 mile deep, Grand Canyon
is widely proclaimed as one of the wonders of the natural world and is unmatched
for the vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. It is not the deepest canyon
in the world, but Grand Canyon is known for its overwhelming size and its intricate
and colorful landscape. Geologically it is significant because of the thick sequence
of ancient rocks that are beautifully preserved and exposed in the walls of the
canyon. These rock layers record much of the early geologic history of the North
American continent. Grand Canyon is also one of the most spectacular examples
of erosion in the world.

Zion is very likely one of the most awe-inspiring National Parks in the
world with the annual number of visitors ranging over 2.5 million.
Throughout
the park iron oxide has colored the sandstone a myriad shades of red, while more
natural white hues have remained in various sections and layers. Water flow from
rain, and river has etched through the rock and created deep chasms of twisted
and convoluted mass. Elevations in the Park range from 4,000 feet in the valley
floors to nearly 9,000 feet at the highest points. | | Bryce
Canyon National Park is named for just one of many canyons which form a series
of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters on the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern
Utah. Erosion has carved colorful Claron limestones into thousands of spires,
fins, arches and mazes. Collectively called "hoodoos," these unique
formations are whimsically arranged and tinted with colors too numerous and subtle
to nameon |
