Grand Canyon National Park invites you and your students to participate in our education program. We offer six different curriculum-based programs: "Dynamic Earth", "Grand Canyon Rocks!" and "Stories in Stone" (earth science); "Rails and Tales" and "Time Travelers" (cultural history); and "Life on the Edge" (5-hour and 2.5 hour versions (ecology)). All six programs address specific national and Arizona State academic standards. Programs are free of charge and open to all schools and teachers.
We also offer teacher workshops and in-class ranger presentations. Please visit the links below to learn more about these offerings.

The view from Toroweap Overlook (North Rim), 3,000 vertical feet above the Colorado River, is breathtaking; the sheer drop, dramatic! Renowned Lava Falls Rapid, just downriver, can be seen and heard easily from the overlook. This remote area is located on the northwest rim of the Grand Canyon.
