Grand Canyon

Name: Grand Canyon

The layers of the Grand Canyon are a spectacular feature that reveals various time periods and conditions. Sediments left behind reflect the conditions (muddy, rocky, sandy, volcanic, etc) of certain time periods. The river has cut through the earth which allows us to see the passing of eons before our eyes.

The Grand Canyon has been home to Native Americans for thousands of years. About 10,000 years ago, paleo-hunters were known to have hunted big game throughout the area. More recently, hunter-gathers lived in the area until about 1000 BC. Archaeological findings, such as pottery found in the canyon, have been carbon dated to 4000 years ago.

“The Mountain Lying Down” was a term once used by the Paiutes to describe the area. John Wesley Powell later began using and publishing the term “Grand Canyon” in the 1870s and the name has stuck.

Today, a Grand Canyon vacation involves more than peeking over the Canyon’s rim. Tours, river rafting expeditions, hiking, mule rides, and camping are just a sampling of the delights that various rims of the canyon offer.
