Grand Canyon Online

Courtesy National Park Service

Have you visited the Grand Canyon National Park website recently? Lots of information is available, including the Fall 2008 South Rim Guide in pdf format.

You can also grab the webcam at Yavapai Point on the South Rim, listen to Ranger Minutes, podcast, watch short video called Flight Into Canyon, or read Canyon Sketches eMagazine.

There is a great deal of history, including a priceless ebook, Polishing the Jewel: An Administrative History of Grand Canyon National Park by Michael F. Anderson. The only disappointment is that there isn't a lot of ecology and environment material, but Polishing the Jewel does make up for that.

Isn't it fantastic that we have the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon as a day trip? A World Heritage Site, 1,218,375 acres big, right in Flagstaff's own back yard.
