All programs are curriculum-based (based on Arizona State Education Standards), and are free of charge. Topics include geology, ecology, pioneer history, and archeology. We also offer school-wide assembly programs.

COLORADO RIVER AT THE BOTTOM OF GRAND CANYON  

Did You Know?
From Yavapai Point on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, the drop to the Colorado River below is 4,600 feet (1,400 m). The elevation at river level is 2,450 feet (750 m) above sea level. Without the Colorado River, a perennial river in a desert environment, the Grand Canyon would not exist.
