"The Most Sublime Spectacle on Earth"

The Grand Canyon, Arizona, one of the seven natural wonders of the world!

By Sylvia Somerville


Only two hours from Sedona is the majestic Grand Canyon, one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the most visited national park in North America.


The Grand Canyon can be explored on foot, by air, by water and on the back of a mule, and viewed at many overlooks along its rim. However it is discovered, many visitors would agree with explorer John Wesley Powell who called the canyon, "the most sublime spectacle on earth."

To see the Grand Canyon is to see nature at its most dramatic, a great chasm of majestic spires, buttes, gorges, mesas, and mesmerizing rock formations that look like ancient temples in a windswept city.

The Grand Canyon is awe-inspiring, unimaginably huge and spectacularly beautiful. Sightseers gasp, artists rejoice and everyone feels humbled by the sight. Nothing can prepare one for the enormity of the Grand Canyon, which is 277 miles long, 10 miles wide and 1 mile deep. It is almost as if the heart and soul of the earth has suddenly been laid bare.
