• Fun Facts: Many consider the Grand Canyon one of the seven wonders of the natural world. At the widest point the Grand Canyon stretches 18 miles across. The canyon is tilted, the northern rim is 1,200 ft higher than the southern rim. The Northern rim can receive snowfall anytime of the year. 800 million gallons of water flow through the Canyon per hour (the Colorado River). There are 1 million acres of land in the Grand Canyon. The rock found at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is around 2 billion years old. This natural wonder attracts approx. 5 million visitors each year. There are no dinosaur fossils at the Grand Canyon (there are fossilized fooprints of early, small reptiles and amphibians). Temperatures inside the canyon are up to 30 degrees hotter than at the rim. The Grand Canyon eliminated the sale of water in disposable containers in 2012 (the plastic bottles took up 20% of the park's waste). The Havasupai tribe still lives in a village within the canyon. The village is only accessible via helicopter or mule trail. One rattlesnake species which lives in the Grand Canyon has a pink hue so it can camouflage with the natural rocks.
