Grand Canyon National Park, located in Arizona, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. The park covers over 1.2 million acres and is home to one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders, the Grand Canyon. The canyon, which is over 277 miles long and up to 18 miles wide, was formed over millions of years by the Colorado River. The park has several hiking trails, ranging from easy walks along the rim to strenuous hikes down into the canyon. The most popular trail is the Bright Angel Trail, which descends over 4,000 feet to the Colorado River. Visitors can also take mule rides down into the canyon or explore the area by rafting down the river. In addition to the canyon, the park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and coyotes. The park also has several historic buildings, including the Grand Canyon Railway Depot and the El Tovar Hotel. Visitors can stay in one of the park's lodges or campgrounds, or in nearby towns like Tusayan or Flagstaff. The park is open year-round, although the best time to visit is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller.
