Arizona - The Grand Canyon Colorado

Since early morning we have been preparing ourselves for the trip because the temperature was around 0 C. We didn't quite like it.

We started from the town of Williams and got to the South Rim of the Canyon when the sunshine warmed us up a little.

The South Rim ia at the elevation of over 2200 m. 

The organization of the viewing - getting to dozens of those viewing points - just perfect. Due to the pre-season, there were few tourists, so nobody 'obscured' the views. Visual impressions to be remembered all our lives. You need to read a little, before you watch the photos. 'The Grand Canyon is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet / 1,800 metres). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.'
