About Travel & Places

The Grand Canyon stretches more than 270 miles through the Colorado Plateau, its walls dropping nearly a vertical mile to the Colorado River below. Layer by layer, the canyon exposes almost two billion years of Earth's history — pale limestone near the top, deep red sandstone in the middle, and the ancient dark Vishnu Schist at the very bottom. Mule trains still wind down the Bright Angel Trail, hikers still catch their breath at every overlook, and the first light of sunrise turns the buttes and mesas a color no photograph quite captures.
