📍 Destination Overview
The Grand Canyon, in northwestern Arizona, is a colossal chasm carved over millions of years by the Colorado River, plunging nearly 1,900 metres and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its walls reveal some two billion years of strata glowing red, orange, purple and white with shifting light. The South Rim, open year-round, is famed for unforgettable sunsets.
