Grand Canyon Rocks program
Our 2 1/2 hour geology program takes place along the rim near the Grand Canyon Village and is accessable to wheelchairs.
This is a two-hour version of Dynamic Earth. Eliminating the fossil activity, this program focuses on the geologic processes that formed the Grand Canyon. It includes a 1½ mile hike along a paved portion of the rim trail. This program is suitable for those traveling on the Grand Canyon Railway and it is also wheelchair accessible.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT AT THE GRAND CANYON  

Did You Know?
Pres. Teddy Roosevelt said of the Grand Canyon, "Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and for all who come after you, as one of the great sights which every American should see."
