However, the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly the most iconic place that only the lazy have not heard of. Wyandotte Daily told what exactly awaits tourists in this national park and why it is worth visiting.
Centennial of the founding
The year 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the day when the 30th US President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill to create a park to protect the canyon and surrounding lands for future generations. To mark the occasion, the Grand Canyon will host some events that are worth attending to learn more about it.
Improved visitor experience
Improvements include new and updated visitor trails, viewing platforms, and exhibits about the canyon's ecosystem.
Diversity
You can admire the surroundings and nature of this park at the canyon floor, go mule riding on the Bright Angel Trail, or go whitewater rafting on the Colorado River. Here you can go camping, fishing, and hear the silence that is lacking in a noisy city. In addition, local rangers will help you get to know nature better.
