A photography tour of Grand Canyon national park is sure to delight and amaze visitors with the sheer size and stunning natural beauty of this landmark. The chasm which is the Grand Canyon stretches for almost 300 miles and measures up to 18 miles in width.

These dimensions make it one of the most impressive geologic features in the world. The canyon was carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, and the process continues today as the river still snakes through the landscape which is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species. Visitors today can learn about the history of the Native American tribes which still live in the park. The Hopi, Havasupai, Navajo, Hualapai and Paiute benefit from the National Park status granted to the area in 1919 as their lands remain protected.
