America Grand Canyon

I’m talking about canyon in the southwestern United States. Perhaps this is
the perfect article for you who love travel activities such as whitewater rafting, hiking and running. The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the United States state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park (one of the first national parks in the United States). Grand Canyon National Park is one of the world’s premier natural attractions, attracting about five million visitors per year. When the first time my cousin took me to felt the experience of being a hiker in this Grand Canyon, I said in my heart “Oh.. My GOD” I was so scared and I rejected her offer because I’m not brave enough. Hiking down to the river and back up to the rim in one day is discouraged by park officials because of the distance, steep and rocky trails, change in elevation, and danger of heat exhaustion from the much higher temperatures at the bottom. Rescues are required annually of unsuccessful rim-to-river-to-rim travelers. Nevertheless, hundreds of fit and experienced hikers complete the trip every year (my cousin is one of them). If you are unable to secure a permit from the Grand Canyon Backcountry Office, or you are not comfortable hiking the Canyon on your own you can go with a professional guide. The most heart-stopping view of the canyon is had from the Toroweap Overlook (Tuweep). This region is called as “One of the most remote in the United States”.
