The Grand Canyon National Park , with over 1.2 million acres, is no doubt the greatest of the natural Seven Wonders of the World . It averages 4,000 feet in depth along this 277 mile landscape with 5,000 feet at its deepest level and 15 miles at it’s widest. The Grand Canyon is home to two very distinct ecosystems. The south rim displays the magnificence of desert life with plants and animals that have learned to adapt to the climate. The north rim offers trees and wildlife that flourish in the wetter climate on that side of the canyon.

Billions of years of history have been carved into this great area of the United States as the Colorado River has cut its way through rock giving you an awesome view of nature that can’t be found anywhere else. No matter what vantage point you view the Canyon from you will be humbled by the sight that is laid out before you. You’ll get an up close look at what the power of nature can create and will find it unbelievable that a river could cause this.

Part of the Colorado River was tamed with the building of the Hoover Dam in the 1930’s. This engineering marvel now provides a steady flow of water to Arizona and California , as well as hydroelectric power. The first man-made lake created by this structure was Lake Mead . Lake Mead is located above Hoover Dam and is where three of America ’s four desert ecosystems meet. What many may think of as barren land, actually contains a variety of plants and animals that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Ringtail cats, kit foxes, coyotes, bighorn sheep and bobcats can be seen here as well as the desert tortoise and peregrine falcon, which are endangered. Lake Mead is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world as it encompasses 110 miles of clear blue water in stark contrast to its desert surroundings.
