More information:

Sunrise on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Grand Canyon is a geological wonder, with rock layers serving as "windows into time." It represents an estimated time period of over 2 billion years, formed by colliding land masses, mountains formed and then eroded over millions of years, and the incredible force of moving water. Grand Canyon was granted National Park status in 1919.
