The Grand Canyon: 100 years old
Go Grand – help celebrate the Grand Canyon National Park’s 100th Birthday
Six million years in the making, six million visitors each year and six million reasons to visit the iconic Grand Canyon in Arizona. But here’s just one – 2019 marks the 100 the year of the
Grand Canyon as a national park and celebrations are happening all through the year.
Whether you fly over it in a chopper, hike the myriad of trails, ride a mule, white water raft, take a daredevil stroll on the Skywalk or simply stand and gaze in awe, the scale, grandeur,
colours, textures of the seemingly never-ending vistas of the Grand Canyon are impossible to fathom. And as the light changes throughout the day, scenes take on different hues.
The opening shot is taken in the early morning light. Here are some images at other times of the day, all taken by Jocelyn Pride.
