The Grand Canyon National Park is perhaps one of the most renowned national parks in the United States. Located in Arizona, the national park is famous due to the unique combination of geologic colour and erosional forms that decorate the 446 kilometre long Grand Canyon. The area was officially designated a national park on February 26, 1919 after decades of bills being submitted to Congress. The Grand Canyon is valued for its combination of size, depth and exposed layers of colourful rocks. It is believed many of the rocks date back to the Precambrian era some 4.6 billion years ago. Much of the park is extremely rugged and remote. Many visitors explore the North and South Rims of the Canyon itself.
