The park stretches from the Glen Canyon Dam in Page, Arizona to the Grand Wash Cliffs at the entrance to Lake Mead.

Grand Canyon was designated a National Park in 1919, it was a National Monument before that. This helps preserve the park for future generations and preserve the animals, and natural features of the park.

There are other canyons that are bigger and deeper, but none that bring together all the spectacular assets this park has to offer.
