Summary of passage

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is a famous natural wonder, 277 miles long and up to 18 miles wide, with a depth of over a mile. Formed by the Colorado River over millions of years, the canyon’s rock layers reveal Earth’s history dating back over two billion years. Visitors can hike or ride mules to see the changing colors of the rocks and enjoy stunning views along the South Rim. Adventurous visitors can raft down the Colorado River, spotting bighorn sheep, elk, and more wildlife. The Grand Canyon’s harsh conditions have led to unique plant adaptations, including cacti that thrive with little water. A visit to the Grand Canyon promises awe-inspiring beauty, history, and wildlife encounters, creating unforgettable memories.
