The Grand Canyon Park has a very rich flora and fauna, because the climate here is just as diverse. If at the very bottom of the gorge the temperature can rise to +40, then on the plateau it reaches only +15 degrees. Here the desert zone can suddenly turn into forest areas, and agaves, cacti and yuccas are replaced by oaks, birches and pines. More than 1,600 species of vegetation, about 90 species of mammals, 47 species of reptiles, 355 species of birds, as well as 26 species of fish and amphibians can be found in the National Park area.

Colorado River

You can see Colorado not only from above and by going down to it, but also by boats and boats, and many people come for rafting on the river. Every year, 22 thousand people raft through the section of the river that runs through the Grand Canyon.

The Skywalk design is created in the shape of an arc with a glass surface. To cross such a bridge, under which the transparent floor is 1.2 km high, you need to be brave. This feature makes the site so popular among travelers. The Skywalk observation deck is located on the territory adjacent to the National Park, a 2-hour drive from Las Vegas.

Most Photographed Place: Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon is not part of the Grand Canyon Park, but also attracts a large number of travelers due to its unearthly beauty. And it is located not far from the Grand Canyon, 240 km, which is not an obstacle for a tourist who wants to feel like he is on another planet and take a beautiful photo.

This is the very place where everyone takes pictures, sitting on the edge of the canyon and dangling their legs into the abyss, at the bottom of which the emerald Colorado River flows, forming a bizarre bend (meander). It is also located near the Grand Canyon, a few kilometers from the city of Page in northern Arizona. Every evening, just before sunset, hundreds of travelers and tourists come here to end their day on a high note.
