I’ve always said it’s a pity that most of us don’t get the chance to visit this entire world and enjoy all its breathtaking sceneries.

However, this doesn’t mean we should stop trying and hoping that one day will get to accomplish all the things and ideas in our heads.

Let’s make baby steps and see where they can take us, right?

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the Grand Canyon – it’s not only one of the most visited destinations in America,

with more than four million people visiting each year, but also a place full of history and beauty.

That’s why I have decided to talk to you today about some interesting facts about this amazing landmark.

1. Members of one Native American tribe still live inside the canyon –

The Havasupai Indians (which means “people of the blue-green waters”) live in a village located near Havasu Creek,

a tributary of the Colorado River that often sees flash floods.

According to grandcanyontourist.com, Supai Village is only accessible via helicopter or horse and mule trails that climb in and out of the canyon.

 

 

                                         

                                    The Grand Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world

2. The Grand Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world –

The Tsangpo Canyon in Tibet is actually deeper and longer than the Grand Canyon.

3. You can’t buy bottled water in the park – According to quirkytravelguy.com, as of March 10, 2012,

the Canyon is officially eliminating the sale of water in disposable containers. T

his decision came after a study determined that 20 percent of the park’s waste came from plastic water bottles.

Don’t worry if you get thirsty, because the park has free water stations throughout,

so bring your own water container and fill it up as much and as often as you like.

                                        

 

                               

                  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The explanation is that the rocks here are far older than the dinosaurs.

Therefore, the fossils you find are simple prehistoric creatures such as corals, sponges, and trilobites.

5. The weather can vary dramatically between the North Rim and the South Rim –

The North Rim is considerably higher in elevation, and as a result is quite a bit cooler and more unpredictable,

with the possibility of snow almost year round.

 

the North Rim is only open to visitors in the late spring, summer, and early fall.

옐로우스톤 공원에도 Grand Canyon이라 불리우는 아름다운 협곡이 있습니다, 38km에 이르는 협곡은 노랑, 오렌지, 빨강, 브라운 등 여러가지 색조를 띄며 그림같은 풍경을 보여주고 있는데, 유황을 함유한 온천수와 증기에 물들기도 하고,빛이 바래기도 하고, 옐로우스톤 강에 의해 침식 당하기도 하여, 이와같은 낭떠러지와 대협곡이 형성되었습니다 . 옐로우스톤 강이 흐르는 협곡에, 아름다운 폭포 Upper Falls와 Lower Falls가 있습니다 그랜드 캐년을 제대로 보려면 Artist Point 와 Inspiration Point라는 데서 보아야 한다는데, 시간 부족으로 저는 Lower Falls Trail 코스와 Uncle Tom's Trail 코스를 걸으며 보았습니다 작은 꽃 사진처럼,어떤 것은 실제보다 사진이 미화되기도 하지만, 장엄한 캐년 만큼은 아무리 해도 사진으로 현장감을 담거나 전달할 수가 없습니다 어찌 보면 노랗고도 갈색인 이 협곡을 보며... 이 국립공원의 이름이 왜 Yellow stone 이 되었는지 답을 알게 됩니다                     오~ 인간이여~! 그대 무엇이 그리 대단하다 여기리... 그리고, 무얼 그리 많이 안다고 생각 하리...
